The Offspring frontman Dexter Holland announced from the stage, “Ed told us that one of our records was his first CD that he ever bought when he was a kid.
“That really meant a lot to us, so we thought, ‘Wow, we’d love to have you come out to join us on stage’. We’re gonna play one of the songs you wanted to play.”
Sheeran posted a video of the performance along with the heartfelt caption, “The first album I ever bought was the @offspring – Conspiracy of One. I used to pretend to be in their band in the mirror and sing along to the album when I was 9, mostly to their song Million Miles Away as it was the first song of theirs I heard.
“I mentioned it in an interview and Noodles / Dexter got in touch with me when we found out we were all playing the same festival, to see if I wanted to get on stage and sing it. It was an instant yes obvz.
“Really felt like living out a childhood dream thank you for having me up there guys. Music is a wild ride, every day I’m so grateful to be living my dream in reality. Hope you enjoy the vid x.”
The star recently announced a tenth anniversary edition of the album. X (10th Anniversary Edition) will be released on June 21 and will feature nine bonus tracks, none of which have ever been available on vinyl before.
