LOS ANGELES (AP) 鈥 Ed Sheeran will put his new album on full display with the help of Apple Music.
The music streaming service announced Friday that Sheeran will kick off the second season of Apple Music Live on May 10. The British pop star performed his fifth studio album 鈥淪ubtract鈥 for the first time at Eventim Apollo in London.

鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to share my 鈥楽ubtract鈥 album show with you,鈥 Sheeran said in a statement Friday. 鈥淚 was really nervous on the day, as it was my first time performing the new album tracks. The show was brought to life by Aaron and the incredible band, and it was an honor to stand beside them. It was an emotional night, but I鈥檓 so pleased we got to document it.鈥
Apple Music Live returns after its inaugural season kicked off last year with performances by Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Mary J Blige and Alicia Keys. Other performances include Lil Durk, Luke Combs and Wizkid.
