Pop star already working on posthumous album

Ed Sheeran has already prepared to release music after the international pop star has left this Earth.

The “Azizam” singer dropped his latest album “Play” on Friday, Sept. 12. While talking about the new record during a recent interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Sheeran revealed the plan for his next four projects: “Pause,” “Fast Forward,” “Rewind” and “Stop.”

When asked if the latter would be his final album, the “Photograph” singer replied, “Well, no. It actually would be ‘Stop’ and then ‘Eject.’ ‘Eject’ is the album in the will. It’s actually in my will.”

The 4-time Grammy Award winner said he plans “to make a record out of all the songs from the age of 18 [until his death].”

He added that “Eject” will include the 10 best songs from his career. The songs will be chosen alongside his wife, Cherry.

“I’ll talk to Cherry throughout my life, [and be] like, ‘I really like this one’,” Sheeran told Lowe.

“You know how posthumous albums come out, but they’re sort of unplanned? I want to sort of make a planned one,” he continued. “I don’t want to go, and someone just to jumble up stuff and put it out. I want it to be planned.”

The “Shape of You” singer went on to say that he would “take a long time” to create “Stop.” However, Sheeran doesn’t anticipate it being his final original body of work.

“I think I’ll probably still make music from there, but I think it has to be made with the same level of care and attention,” he said while comparing “Stop” to Jay-Z’s “The Black Album.”

“I love ‘The Black Album’ and it’s because he’s like, ‘This is my last thing I’m giving to the world,’” Sheeran said.

Sheeran’s next round of works will follow his seven previous studio albums — comprising his uber successful projects “Plus,” “Multiply,” “Divide” and “Equals.”

Sheeran, who has sold roughly 200 millions records worldwide, is one of the best-selling music artists in history.
