\n\tIn perhaps the ultimate example of musical forethought, Ed Sheeran<\/a> has written into his last will and testament instructions for releasing a posthumous album after he dies.<\/p>\n

\n\tSheeran revealed the fascinating plan during an interview with Zane Lowe, who was asking the singer-songwriter about his plans for his next series of albums, starting with Play<\/a> (out today<\/a>, Sept. 12). Keeping up the titular theme, Sheeran plans to follow the LP with Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, and Stop. When Lowe naturally asked if Stop would be the last album, Sheeran replied: \u201cWell, no. It actually would be Stop and then Eject.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Lowe laughed at the notion, Sheeran insisted, \u201cIt\u2019s actually in my will! And Cherry [Seaborn, Sheeran\u2019s wife] gets to pick the tracks for it. It\u2019s fully in there if I was to go tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSheeran went on to explain to a flabbergasted Lowe that he wanted Eject to contain songs he\u2019s written \u201cfrom the age of 18 to when I pass away \u2014 just choose the 10 best.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued: \u201cImagine if Paul McCartney dies and there\u2019s early 16-year-old Beatles recordings, and then right up to [his death] \u2014 the 10 best of his entire career. Lots of people won\u2019t like that of me. But there\u2019ll be lots of my fans that would find that super-interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Sheeran noted, most posthumous albums are \u201csort of unplanned,\u201d and he was aiming to counteract this with such meticulous advanced planning. He said he would \u201ctalk to Cherry throughout my life\u201d about the songs he likes most, adding, \u201cI don\u2019t want to go and someone just to jumble up stuff and put it out. I want it to be planned.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAll that said, Sheeran did see Stop as being a final album of sorts, at least similar to the way Jay-Z made The Black Album<\/a>, as if it were his final album<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m not saying [Stop] will be my final album,\u201d Sheeran explained. \u201cI think I\u2019ll probably still make music from there, but I think. It has to be made with the same level of care and attention. I love The Black Album, and it\u2019s because he\u2019s like, \u2018This is my last thing I\u2019m giving to the world.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In perhaps the ultimate example of musical forethought, Ed Sheeran has written into his last will and testament…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[4249,146,85,46,409],"class_list":["post-14890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ed-sheeran","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
