Ed Sheeran’s Grave Is All Ready in His Backyard: ‘People Think It’s Really Weird’ and ‘Morbid’

Ed Sheeran is nothing but a planner!

In an interview with GQ Hype released on Thursday, Sheeran was asked about a crypt he was rumored to have built on his estate in England.

“I wouldn’t say it’s a crypt,” Sheeran, 32, told the paper, adding that it’s actually a chapel where he can mourn the people in his life who have died. He also organizes his friends’ weddings there.

When the chapel was being built, he realized that he himself would like to be buried there so that his daughters, Lyra and Jupiter, would have a place to remember him.

“It’s a hole that’s dug in the ground with a little stone over it, so whenever the day comes that I die, I go inside,” the “Photographa” singer explained.

He added: “People think it’s really weird and really morbid, but I’ve had friends who have died without a will and nobody knows what to do.”

The following year, Sheeran’s best friend Jamal Edwards died at the age of 31. He also lost his close friend Shane Warne in 2022.
