Ed Sheeran wears Mushroom Records t-shirt honoring music mogul Michael Gudinski as he uses his star power to urge fans to donate to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal
Ed Sheeran is currently in Australia with his wife Cherry Seaborn and their daughter, after performing at the funeral of music mogul Michael Gudinski.
And the British singer lent his support to the Melbourne Royal Children’s Hospital on his Down Under trip.
In a video filmed this week, Ed, 30, wore a Mushroom Records t-shirt, which Michael founded in 1972, and urged fans to donate to the hospital’s Good Friday appeal.

“In 2015, I visited the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne and saw with my own eyes how amazing their work is,” he said.
He added: “ As a new dad, I know how important it is for every child to have access to quality health care. The calling of Good Friday is a wonderful thing.
“We are now in its 90th year, so donate if you can and save $ 5 or $ 10.”

Ed and his wife Cherry Seaborn, 28, arrived in Australia with their daughter Lyra Antarctica earlier this month.
The young family were reportedly on the verge of being caught in the NSW flood emergency, shortly before their performance at the Michael Gudinski memorial.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald’s Private Sydney, the couple and their seven-month-old daughter were staying in the Hawkesbury area of Sydney for two weeks of mandatory quarantine when the disaster struck.
The publications reported that Ed had “narrowly escaped rising flood waters” in the area.

The publication said the family had left the property, which even had its own lake, on the ‘last road’ outside the town which had not been closed due to the flood waters.
Meanwhile, Ed gave a moving performance at the Michael Gudinski State Memorial at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne last week.
He sang his hit single Castle on the Hill – one of the late music mogul’s favorites – and then broke down in tears while performing a new song, Visiting Hours, which is about his daughter Lyra.
Ed also shared the stage with Kylie Minogue – whose musical career was started by Michael – to do a duet of her songs All The Lovers and The Loco-motion.
