Ed Sheeran’s Backyard Grave Stirs Question Online – Here’s What It Meant

Some people may tend to be scared and frightened when the idea of talking about one's death comes up. Some are even dismissive of the thought as it scares them away. However, for Ed Sheeran, the conversation about his imminent death is something that is a talking point, at least for him.

Which is why he explained thoroughly the idea of having his own gravesite in his backyard.

Ed Sheeran Backyard Gravesite Explained

Sharing to GQ Magazine, Ed Sheeran confirmed the ongoing rumor online that he has a gravesite in his own backyard at home.

Apparently, there was a thoughtful reason behind the rather eerie landscaping choice.

"I wouldn't say it's a crypt," Sheeran clarified before saying that it is actually a chapel.

He also went on to say that he had a lot of people in his life who had been cremated, so the gravesite is actually a space for them in his own home.

Turns out, Ed Sheeran's backyard gravesite isn't actually just for death, it's also for new beginnings as he had many friends who had tied the knot there before too.

"It's a hole that's dug in the ground with a bit of stone over it, so whenever the day comes and I pass away, I get to go in there," he confirmed. "People think it's really weird and really morbid, but I've had friends die without wills, and no one knows what to do."

Aside from that, Sheeran also shared with the publication that the gravesite can also be a place where his daughters could visit him and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, by the time they pass away in the future.

Ed Sheeran's 'Autumn Variations'

The conversation came on the heels of Ed Sheeran's recent release of his newest album, "Autumn Variations," last Sept. 29, 2023. Notably, this was Ed Sheeran's first time to release a non-mathematics titled album as his first four albums have been titled as such.

Sheeran also recorded a live version of the songs in his fan's living room titled "Fan Living Room Sessions."

Aside from this, Sheeran is also donating a part of the album's sales to Save The Music, a non-profit organization dedicated to unlocking the potential of marginalized schools and communities in making and learning music.
