Singer Ed Sheeran forgot the lyrics of his own song during a live performance here.

The 26-year-old singer missed his lines while singing his new track What do I know from his latest album Divide on Friday.

The singer, whose album has topped the US Billboard charts for the second week, laughed off his mistake on stage and bravely carried on with the song.

Fans still took to Twitter to praise the Shape of you hitmaker's performance.

"I think I just fell in love with Ed Sheeran a little more after that," a user wrote. 

Another user posted: "Ed Sheeran missing his own song lyrics on, laughing and carrying on." Another one added, "Ed Sheeran just f***** his lyrics up! Happens to the best of them. Comic relief."
