MUSIC fans got more than they bargained for at the re-scheduled Example gig on Sunday, when Brit Award winner Ed Sheeran showed up as the surprise support act.

Rapper Example returned to Swindon having been forced to cancel his gig at the Oasis last year after the roof sprang a leak.

But his return was worth the wait for the capacity crowd, when Ed Sheeran took to the stage as Example’s special guest.

The chart-topping singer/song writer, pictured, who is due to play his own headline gig at the leisure centre in October, is believed to have been in Swindon for a wedding. He delighted the young audience with a selection of hits from his debut album +, including Lego House and The A Team.

Example then took the helm and whipped the crowd into a frenzy with hits such as Changed The Way You Kissed Me, Kick Starts and Stay Awake.

Tickets for Sheeran's gig sold out in days of going on sale.
