#EdSheeran
o Is this just being prepared or is this really dark?
o The singer dug his own grave in his backyard.
o He says he actually constructed a chapel on his property to properly mourn the people he’s lost who have been cremated.
o And in addition to the chapel itself, he decided to craft his own final resting place so his children could come and remember him after his death.
o He says, ““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. People think it’s really weird and really morbid, but I’ve had friends die without wills, and no one knows what to do.”
o Ed will be back in Las Vegas on October 28th after rescheduling his tour date do to stage safety issues.
