Once we have more updates on any potential implication for the Dubai show we will of course share with fans and readers - for now we wish Ed a speedy recovery", Thomas Ovesen, CEO of 117 Live, said in a statement to City Times when asked to comment on the question of whether the accident would jeopardise Sheeran's Dubai concert.
