• Ed Sheeran opened up about the distinctive private chapel on his property, revealing his intention to use it as his final resting place
• The Perfect hitmaker revealed that the chapel also serves as a space for him to mourn and remember his loved ones
• Sheeran's choice to create a grave was motivated by friends who went away without leaving a clear will

Celebrated musician Ed Sheeran disclosed that he has a GH₵63,143,209 private chapel in his garden where his cemetery is already prepared and waiting for him.

In an interview with GQ Hyp, the singer clarified that it's more of a chapel with a hole dug in the ground and covered with stone.

"I wouldn’t say it’s a crypt," the 32-year-old told the outlet, clarifying that it’s actually more of a chapel.

He added:

"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."

Why did Ed Sheeran dig his own grave?

He explained that he wants his daughters, Lyra Antarctica and Jupiter, to have a place to visit him after he passes away.

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

The singer, who has won four Grammy Awards, decided to construct this chapel after facing challenging moments in his life, including his wife Cherry Seaborn's tumour diagnosis and the tragic death of his best friend, Jamal Edwards.

Additionally, Sheeran uses the chapel to mourn the loss of loved ones, including his grandmother, for whose recent funeral he was unable to be present due to a copyright trial in New York City.
