Ed Sheeran’s new Rolling Stone cover story ostensibly promotes his upcoming sixth album, Subtract, but he also took the opportunity to tease some other intriguing projects in the works, including plans for a posthumous album. (Yes, you read that right.)
Along with Subtract—which is the last in his series of mathematical albums—Sheeran revealed that he’s finished a collaborative album with reggaeton artist J Balvin (which seems primed for more debates about cultural appropriation) as well as an album with The National’s Aaron Dessner.
Maybe the most shocking project Sheeran revealed he’s working on, though, is a posthumous album. The 32-year-old singer spared details about the project, but said that it would be the result of years of work and would only come out after his death.
