Ed Sheeran Helped A Guy Propose To His Girlfriend Who's Battling Cancer

Ed, please stay in Canada forever.

Ed Sheeran is in Canada, just charming his way through the country and turning err'body into mush.

You might remember when he surprised a fan at a mall in Edmonton just as she was performing his song.

Well, very soon after, he helped a Saskatoon couple get engaged during his show — and made the bride-to-be's lifelong dream come true.

Pablo Benitez's girlfriend, Tanya Prochshyn, is currently battling brain cancer. On Wednesday — the day of the concert — she was recovering from a surgery to remove one of her tumours.

Earlier in the week, Benitez met Sheeran at a separate function. He told him about Tanya and asked the singer to play his girlfriend's favourite song, "Thinking Out Loud," because he was going to propose.

And Sheeran agreed to it: "He took care of it all," Benitez told said in a local radio interview. "He took the time to put me on his list ... I just had to show up and keep to my word, which I did."

On that night, Sheeran even stopped his performance of "Thinking Out Loud" to congratulate the couple.

To which Benitez tweeted to update the singer: "She said yes."

The couple have since been receiving an outpouring of support from their Saskatchewan community. For Sheeran's role in all of this, Benitez is forever grateful.

"I can't explain how awesome it was and I have to thank Ed Sheeran for that," he said. "I'm a rock dude, right? I don't listen to pop music. For what this guy did, we need more musicians like him around."

Our hearts: melted into puddle of mush 🔴.

Local Saskatoon radio station C95 has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for Tanya and Pablo's wedding, as well as a future trip for Tanya to see Niagara Falls, another lifelong dream of hers.
