Ben&Ben on duet with Ed Sheeran: ‘We still can’t believe it!’

Ben&Ben members were still over the moon about their special performance at Ed Sheeran’s concert on Saturday night!

On Instagram, the nine-piece Filipino indie folk-pop band shared a backstage photo with Ed and said that they are still overjoyed with their duet with the “Perfect” hitmaker.

“Grabe, we still can’t believe it. Para kaming nasa panaginip. We’re so grateful. We’re extremely happy. Sobrang kinikilig pa rin kami hanggang ngayon,” the band wrote.

They also recalled the encounters they had with Ed, which included them singing in a karaoke with him, performing on his iconic round stage, and the highlight of their night, their duet of “Maybe the Night” with him.

“After our set, sinalubong niya kami backstage at kinamayan niya kaming lahat. Nakipag kwentuhan pa muna siya ng konti samin, na parang kaibigan lang namin,” they added. 

The OPM band said that sharing a stage with “such a genuine and brilliant artist,” is a “great honor,” and having a conversation with Ed is beyond their “wildest dreams.” 

Ending their post, Ben&Ben thanked everyone who listens to their music and their Liwangas for always supporting them.

“Thank you for being with us. Ah we love you all. We’ll be loving you ’til we’re 70 and beyond!!” they concluded, referencing Ed’s line from “Thinking Out Loud.” 

Ed performed in front of thousands of Sheerios at the SMDC Festival Ground on Saturday.

Aside from Ben&Ben, Calum Scott also had a special performance.

Before the big day, Ed had his vocals warmed up first in a karaoke machine and sang to several songs such as “Dancing Queen” and “Thinking Out Loud.”
