Did you know Ed Sheeran has his own grave dug out in his backyard? Here’s what the singer has to say

British singer Ed Sheeran opened up about his life and shared intimate details about himself in a recent interview with GQ. The ‘Shape of You’ singer confirmed that he has a burial place built for himself on his property in England.

Sheeran explained to GQ that he had a chapel on his property and he realized he wanted to be buried there when he saw how beautiful it was when it was being built. He added that he wanted a place where his children could go and remember him.

‘I wouldn’t say it’s a crypt. 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 told the publication.

He added, ‘People think it’s really weird and really morbid, but I’ve had friends die without wills, and no one knows what to do.’

Rumours that Ed Sheeran had a crypt built on his estate started doing the rounds last year.
