Ed Sheeran has had a busy week with the release of his third studio album.  Sheeran’s album ‘Divide’ became the fastest-selling album by a male artist in history and dominated the charts with Sheeran’s tracks taking 9 out of 10 of the UK Top 10 singles chart; but his talent doesn’t stop there.

Last night, Ed confirmed that he will be appearing in the upcoming season of HBO’s award winning fantasy drama, Game of Thrones with the following tweet…

The show’s creators, David Benioff and Dan Weiss announced that they had been trying to book Sheeran for the show for a while, to surprise the show’s actress Maisie Williams who is a huge fan of the musician.
