Ed Sheeran Role Not Yet Known

USA Today reported that while the "Shape of You" singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran was cast in a guest role in "Game of Thrones" Season 7, the executive producers did not say what role he will play, or for how many episodes he will appear. This is not the first time Ed Sheeran has taken to television to showcase his acting talents.

Gary Lightbody of the band Snow Patrol and Will Champion from Coldplay also previously appeared in the HBO series. Now that singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran was cast in guest role in the upcoming "Game of Thrones" Season 7, fans are wondering what will take place, aside from the great war that is expected to occur this season.
