Ed Sheeran is prepared for all scenarios.

When asked about the crypt he was rumoured to have built on his estate in England, Ed told the magazine, "I wouldn’t say it’s a crypt." He explained that it’s actually a chapel.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Ed Sheeran had applied to construct a crypt under the floor of a chapel on his estate in East Anglia. As per a report by The Guardian, Ed had gained approval to build the 'private place of retreat for contemplation and prayer' in 2019 on his Suffolk estate, which is worth an estimated £3.7 million (approximately ₹30 crore).

A lot of the people in Ed's life who have died were cremated, and he wanted a place to mourn them, the singer explained to GQ. And when it was being built, he thought it was so beautiful that he wanted to be buried there, in a place where his children could come to remember him.

Ed is married to Cherry Seaborn, and they share two daughters: Lyra Antarctica, 3, and Jupiter, 1. Ed had announced on social media in March that his wife had been diagnosed with a tumour during her pregnancy. Her diagnosis happened around the same time as the death of his best friend, Jamal Edwards, he had added.
