Ed Sheeran on the hunt for missing guitars

Ed Sheeran is frantically trying to track down two guitars for a weekend performance in London after they went missing following a flight.

The A Team hitmaker is taking to the stage at the Hackney Weekend event on Saturday, but he's facing a race against time to find instruments which have been misplaced.

In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "so after delta (airline) messing up the flight over here, they have lost both my guitars. hope i get them back in time for Hackney weekend."

And in response to a message from rapper Professor Green, he adds, "very s**t man, irreplaceable instruments. just need them for the festivals and radio things this weekend, il (I'll) sort it."
