Ed Sheeran invited The Frames frontman Glen Hansard and rockers Kodaline onstage to perform with him during his performance at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday, July 25, 2015.

 

They joined him on Irish classics In Dublin’s Fair City and The Auld Triangle, before bassist Jason Boland got down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend Eatoin Corr, and she said, “Yes.”

 

Earlier in the day, the Sing hitmaker had tweeted he had “something planned for tonight you won’t expect”. He then congratulated the couple on Twitter after his gig.

Thank you to Kodaline and Glen Hansard for joining me on stage today to sing some tunes. And congratulations to Jay, what a way to propose !

What a night! Thanks so much @edsheeran for everything! What an amazing way to start the rest of our lives #jayton

He also shared a photo of the epic moment he popped the question.
