With worldwide hit songs like “Perfect,” “Shape of You,” and “Photograph,” award-winning singer songwriter Ed Sheeran is well-known by many. In spite of his status, he has gone through a lot of challenges, one of which was his wife’s cancer diagnosis last year while she was pregnant with their second child.

Cancer is a life-threatening disease that anyone, regardless of background, age, gender, socio-economic status, and race can get. It is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 according to the World Health Organization. With early detection and proper treatment though, patients have a higher chance of surviving cancer. This is where organizations like Curebound comes in. Curebound is an organization that invests in lifesaving cancer research projects. It’s tagline is “Accelerating cancer research into cures.” These types of research have high costs and so the organization will be holding Curebound Concert of Cures: Ed Sheeran at The Rady Shell, San Diego, on October 20 to raise much needed funds.

Direct from his record-breaking North American tour, Ed Sheeran joins Curebound to headline the 2023 Concert for Cures, raising awareness and funds for lifesaving cancer research.

Named Artist of the Decade in 2020, Sheeran’s songs have topped the charts with more than 150 million records sold worldwide. In addition to having the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, he is a four-time Grammy Award winner and six-time Billboard Music Award winner who has continued to push the boundaries of his songcraft with each album.

After a series of hard-hitting personal events in 2022 including his wife Cherry’s cancer diagnosis, Sheeran released his most soul-baring work to date with the bestselling album “-“ (“subtract”), which reminds audiences why he remains one of the most gifted songwriters and lyricists of his generation.

Please join us for an unforgettable night on Friday, October 20th at the Rady Shell. All proceeds from the Concert for Cures fund cutting-edge research with the power to save lives.

There’s a line in Vega, a song Ed Sheeran wrote while his wife was battling cancer, that goes “I’ll count my blessings the day I see you smile again. This war, we’ve got to win.” Buy your tickets here now and show cancer warriors that they are not alone in this fight. We will get through this together and we will win this war!
