Ed Sheerandid a little kidding around on Saturday.
The “Shape of You” singer, 32, made a surprise appearance at the Lego store in Minnesota’s Mall of America on Saturday, working a shift as a “brick specialist” and helping young customers shop for the colorful building toys. In a video posted on hisInstagram, he could be seen handing out boxed Lego sets, signing autographs and posing for photos with some star-struck kids.
“Right, I’m here at the Mall of America in Minnesota and I have my LEGO outfit on,” he explained in the clip, as the camera panned to show him wearing a bright yellow apron — pinned with an “Ed” name tag — and a Lego graphic T-shirt. “I’m going to be a brick specialist at the Lego store and play ‘Lego House.'”
The musician later stepped out into the mall to serenade a large crowd of fans who had gathered, performing an acoustic rendition of his hit “Lego House.““That was super fun,” he said after the performance, teasing a special surprise for those attending his concert later that night at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. “I’ve got a bunch of these ‘Autumn Is Coming’ minifigures and I’m going to be giving them out at the gig. See you in a bit.”
