Ed Sheeran Puts Posthumous Album 'Eject' in His Will, Naming Cherry Seaborn as Curator

He says the curated release is meant to avoid the usual unplanned posthumous compilations.

Overview

  • Sheeran disclosed the plan in a Sept. 12 Apple Music 1 interview with Zane Lowe, the day he released his new album Play.
  • Eject is set to feature the 10 best songs he wrote from around age 18 through the end of his life, with Seaborn selecting the final tracklist.
  • He outlined a forthcoming series of records — Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, and Stop — with Eject to follow Stop after his lifetime.
  • Sheeran said Rewind is nearly finished, describing it as about two months from being fully finalized.
  • Alongside the release news, he announced a UK and European arena tour for this winter, including dates in Manchester and Dublin.
