“Winter is coming” for Ed Sheeran, who has spilled details about his upcoming cameo in the seventh season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

In a recent interview with The Hits Radio, the British crooner divulged that he would be filmed with Maisie Williams, who plays the role of the ferocious assassin Arya Stark. “I just do a scene with Maisie,” he candidly said. “I sing a song and then she goes, ‘oh, that’s a nice song.'”

Sheeran previously confirmed his involvement in “Game of Thrones” through an interview with UK’s Daily Star. “I do know which role I am going to play. I don’t die in it,” he said, noting that his appearance would stretch for five minutes. “I’d probably prefer to have sex than die in the show. I’m sure a lot of people are into that but I’m not.”

Likewise, his hit single “Shape of You” became the longest-running No. 1 on Australia’s Singles Chart, Billboard reported.
