Worried fans have wished him well as he waits to find out whether the tour can go ahead as planned.
Justine Rebecca wrote online: ‘Wishing @EdSheeran a speedy recovery… imagine being the person who ran over Ed Sheeran tho poor Ed and his bike.’

Ed’s accident comes a year after he was hospitalised following a party prank with fellow musician James Blunt and royal Princess Beatrice.
He received a cut to his cheek after the mishap, in which the Princess reported hit his face with a sword as she jokingly ‘knighted’ Blunt.
Last year he was seen with a bike in Compton, prompting rapper The Game to say he’d cycled through LA’s most notorious neighbourhood on the two-wheeler.
Ed later revealed he found the bike outside a recording studio, but added: ‘If I’d had a bike I would have ridden it there.’
