Ed Sheeran has confirmed his Singapore Indoor Stadium gigs on Nov. 11 and 12 will go ahead as planned.

The decision was made to carry on after his Asia leg of the tour was in jeopardy following an accident.

The British singer-songwriter said via a press statement on Oct. 26, via AEG Presents: "A follow-up visit to my doctors today confirmed that I will be good to go from the Singapore shows onwards."

A bicycle accident a week earlier left him with a broken wrist, elbow and rib. As a result, he had to cancel some of his concerts in Asia, while postponing others.

Countries he will not get to play include Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong and Jakarta. These dates cannot be postponed to a later date at all.

"Osaka, Tokyo and Manila will be rescheduled for April 2018," he said in the statement.

The statement also said: "I'm really gutted that not all the postponed dates could be rescheduled and I am working hard with my team to try and come back to these places as soon as I can to see all of you. I'm sorry to everyone who has been affected by this."

The Singapore shows will kick off his Asian and Middle Eastern tour.

He will play Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Mumbai and Dubai after that.
