The singer is dependant on his right arm to perform; his world tour – that has already taken him to Europe, the US and Latin America – features him solo onstage with just his guitar.
Sheeran is scheduled to perform a series of shows in Asia starting on October 22. Apart from Hong Kong, there are also concerts planned for Japan, South Korea and Thailand, before he is due to kick off the Australian leg of his tour in March 2018.
He has asked fans to “stay tuned” for further news.
Concert organiser AEG Presents Asia has been asked to comment on the status of the Asia shows.
