“He is recovering and we wish him the best,” Ed shared with the crowd about Khalid‘s condition.

The pre-show set included tracks from his most recent album, – (Subtract).

Ed also cracked a few jokes about playing during daylight hours versus the nighttime he usually does.

“Usually when I start playing, it’s like pitch-black and now I get to see everyone. It’s awesome,” he said. “This is pretty fun.”

Ed then added, “I kind of feel like when you’re the main act, there’s a bunch of pressure because people have paid to see you but I feel like when you’re the opening act you’re sort of like, ‘Let’s have fun. Let’s play songs.’”

After a handful of more songs, Ed did confirm that Khalid would still be joining the tour in Boston.
