Ed Sheeran is releasing a live version of his previously announced album ‘Autumn Variations’ recorded in the homes of fans.
The ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker secretly recorded the project while performing for fans in their living rooms.
He announced the project on Instagram with a clip of him surprising a fan by playing the piano, writing, “So I’ve been doing some surprise pop up gigs at fans’ houses, secretly recording a live album of Autumn Variations where each song is recorded in a different fan’s living room, but it was all a total surprise. (sic)”
Ed will release the live edition “soon”, but the standard will be out on September 29th.
He continued: “We got to @kariconaway’s house at the end of the day and I knew it was going to be fun. They had cats, friendship bracelets and some fruit drinks to start with, but after I played the Autumn song I said take me on a tour and when I walked into her room I saw a piano. She asked if I could play and I said ‘not really, but I’ll kind of play Wake Me Up’, so here I am playing Wake Me Up for all the Plus fans out there.
Ed recently explained the inspiration behind the record: “Last fall I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes. After the heat of the summer, everything was either settling down, settling down, falling apart, coming to a head or imploding.
