Ed Sheeran sent flowers to a grieving fan when he was unable to grant her request to sing at her boyfriend's funeral.
The famous ginger singer was asked by Rachel Murray to perform at the funeral of her partner Lee Foster - who died aged 24 last week following a battle with skin cancer - but was unable to attend the service as he is currently on tour in New Zealand.
Instead, Ed paid his respects to Lee and showed his support for Rachel by sending her an enormous bouquet of lilies.
Rachel had started a #singforlee campaign on Twitter in a bid to get the 24-year-old singer to perform at the funeral as Lee was a huge fan of the star.
Before Lee's passing the pair had planned to see Ed perform in July and had even discussed having his hit 'Thinking Out Loud' played at their wedding.
"Lee was just a normal lad. He was fun-loving and loved life. He had a constant battle with cancer for 15 months but was so positive the whole way through. You wouldn't even know he was ill,” Rachel told the Daily Mirror newspaper.
"He absolutely loved Ed Sheeran. He was listening to him in the hospice before he died."
Lee's funeral will take place today.
