Ed Sheeran Dying? Singer Reveals Posthumous Album in the Works: 'I Have It In My Will!'

Ed Sheeran takes music very seriously.

Not only did the "Bad Habits" singer reveal in an interview with Rolling Stone that his mental health took a massive toll after losing his best friends, but it also put his life and music into perspective.

Sheeran announced that he is currently working on his posthumous album, "I want to slowly make this album that is quote-unquote 'perfect' for the rest of my life."

Apparently, the "Shape of You" singer has been building up this album for quite some time now, "adding songs here and there."

"It was very quickly seen that we were making two different things," Sheeran said. "I have no goals for the record. I just want to put it out."

'The Sum of It All'

Fans who want to get to know the elusive singer can watch him on the Disney+ docuseries titled "Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All."

It will not only include behind-the-scene clips of the singer's career, an in-depth look into his personal life, and interviews with his loved ones, but it will also boast a number of performances.

"I've always been very guarded in my personal and private life," Sheeran explained. "The only documentary I've ever made has been one that focused on my songwriting,

"Disney approached me to make a four-part documentary, and it felt like the right time to open the door and let people in. I hope people enjoy it."
