Ed Sheeran’s current tour has witnessed the singer staging impromptu gigs all over the country — from Boston recitals to Nashville pubs — but Saturday brought his most on-the-nose pop-up yet as he played his “Lego House” outside a Lego Store in Minneapolis.
The self-proclaimed bricklayer visited the massive Mall of America in between gigs this weekend in the Twin Cities, with Sheeran — perhaps inspired by Lana Del Rey’s Waffle House cameo — laced up a yellow Lego apron and got to work as a brick specialist at the Lego Store, to the surprise of shoppers.
Following his shift — where he helped consumers pick out mini-figures and seemingly autographed random Lego sets — Sheeran grabbed his acoustic guitar to perform his 2011 hit single “Lego House” outside the house of Lego.
