Ed Sheeran has always been a kind-hearted guy and he is taking the time to save the music!

Turns out, his newest album, "Autumn Variations," will be for a good cause.

Ed Sheeran 'Autumn Variations' Donated To Save The Music

According to a recent Variety report, Ed Sheeran will be donating a portion of his proceeds from the sales of "Autumn Variations" and his newly-released "Fan Living Room Sessions" to the music education non-profit organization Save The Music.

Per the report, the proceeds of Sheeran's donations will be funneled to the organization to aid them in helping schools, students, and communities, to "unlock their full potential through making music."

Save The Music was also instrumental in Sheeran's efforts to visit schools in Los Angeles and New York City to donate guitars for their music departments.

Ed Sheeran 'Fan Living Room Sessions'

The announcement came days after Sheeran announced the Fan Living Room Sessions album version of "Autumn Variations" on Instagram.

"So I did some surprise pop up gigs in fans houses, secretly recording a live album of Autumn Variations where each song is recorded in a different fans living room, but all of it was a total surprise," he revealed in the video.

In the same video, Sheeran bonded with his fans in a performance.

"They had cats, friendship bracelets and some fruit drinks to start, but once I'd played the Autumn song I said take me on a tour, and when I went into her room I saw a piano," he described the fan's home. "She asked if I could play and I said 'not really but I kinda play on wake me up', so here I am playing Wake Me Up, for all the Plus fans out there. The fan living room live Autumn Variations album coming soon, proper album out 29th September go preorder you legends x," he said at the time.

More so, the filming of the "Fan Living Room Sessions" was done during the North American leg of the "Mathematics" Tour. Apparently, each fan was commemorated on the title of the song that he had recorded in their living room. (via Variety)

In one of the songs, some theorize that Ed Sheeran is having a rough patch with his wife, Cherry Seaborn. Sheeran hinted on cryptic lyrics about a failing marriage in his song, "Punchline."
