British superstar singer throws weight behind Toon Bodyslam's charity run

Singing superstar Ed Sheeran who appeared live in Bangkok has recognized the charity efforts of Thai rocker Toon Bodyslam who is raising millions of baht for eleven hospitals.
 
Ed signed a hat wishing the Thai rocker good luck as he was interviewed by TV Channel 3. Toon and his entourage are running all the way from betong in the far south to Chiang Rais's Mae Sai district on the Burmese border.
 
Ed proved that even though this was his first trip to Bangkok he was more than a little adept at handling the Thai tones.
 
Asked to say the name of the show he managed a very accurate rendition - he is well known to be good at languages, said Tnews.
 
Ed gave a good "Sawatdee khrap" greeting unaided and offered a very acceptable wai. Though he struggled with the words for 'thank you" and thought it was spring he was clearly keen to be corrected and learn from the presenter who gave him a gift.
 
Despite suffering from an injured arm he said he would complete the remaining legs of his tour.
 
He rounded off the interview talking about his many tattoos saying that they are based on his experiences - he added that he ought to get one that represented his trip to Bangkok.
 
He then drew a makeshift tattoo on the female presenter.

Next news, Toon got run over by speeding drunk truck driver....

Ed who?

Can somebody say "virtue signaling" in any of the other languages he speaks (which is to say, er...  English -  aside from parroting lyrics in songs)

came out from under my rock

learned the name of a new "Super Star"

went back under my rock

 

btw, this is a Haiku!

Superstar? Never heard of it. Maybe a resident of Khao San Road?

Superstar! 

If you want to know what a lovely guy he is, listen to his appearance on the bbc show “desert island discs’.

Throws weight? How much heft does "good luck" have? I've heard Ed's stuff. Sorry, but was not all that impressed.

How about throwing some coin in then you ginger minge tattooed <deleted>.

I think the "pretty's" underwear might be wet after that interview.:smile:

My thoughts also.

But he seems to be worth 65 million pounds.

 

Good news in a country where resources are allocated to submarines ......... 

Not my type of music, but I think it's great that someone so odd looking can get famous based on talent.

Oh, please Bill....................... you are not THAT old, surely :smile:

British singing superstar Ed Sheeran  ?.... Never heard of him and I am British    

Never heard of him and I'm English. BTW, what is the difference between a star and a superstar these days?

Keep on running Toon!

I tossed that comment in with my tongue firmly in my cheek just to see the responses and it seems that quite a few posters agree with me.

 

I actually am that old and I do have a vague idea who Ed ? is, but my appreciation of good pop music died in 1991 when Freddie Mercury, from Queen died.

 

He had a fantastic vocal range and could sing almost any type of song.

 

I haven't heard anyone better or even approaching him since.

Seriously?

 

I don’t particularly like him, but I have heard of him. 

You've all never heard of him as most of you on this forum are stuck in a time warp. You all need to get off your computers and get out more.

If anyone is going to follow this advice, I’d recommend looking beyond mr ed.

 

There’s a lot better stuff out there.

A horse is a horse

 

Of course, of course

 

and no one can talk to a horse

 

of course

 

unless of course,

 

the horse of course

 

is the wonderful mr Ed...?

 

Loved that programme as a kid. 

Not Thai hyperbole for once. He has an MBE, wonder if he got a "For God and the Empire" tattoo to go with it. Not a "Sir" yet though, still, he's young, plenty of time.

Only because people are stupid enough to spend their money buying his 'music.'

Let's be honest the only things that make successfull songs nowadays are the videos.

Stand these so called stars on a stage and get them to carry a song through without a loud group or half naked female backing singers/dancing girls to cover up their bad singing and it would probably be the last time anyone paid to see them.
