2 Years After Having ‘Friends’ Star Courteney Cox on His Last Album, Ed Sheeran Drops Another Surprise

Ed Sheeran might very well be one of the biggest names in the music industry.
But that does not mean that the artist has not faced his fair share of drama and
speculations. Thankfully for him, the one thing he can count on to get him
through anything is the friendships he has built over the years. While his
friendship with Taylor Swift [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/taylor-swift/]
has dominated the spotlight until now, it looks like there is another one that
is stealing the limelight now and that is his friendship with the Friends star,
Courteney Cox.

Six months after his last album, ‘Subtract’ came out, the singer/songwriter made
another surprising announcement about an upcoming album called, ‘Autumn
Variations’.


ED SHEERAN IS DEFINITELY A FRIENDS FAN

Recently, Ed Sheeran took to his Instagram to share a video of him and his close
friend, Courteney Cox. It was to share a new song that he had written, but the
surprising part was what inspired it. In the video, he can be heard telling Cox
that he “wrote this song inspired by Friends” and then began playing it for her.
He also revealed that the song was called ‘American Town’ and the album ‘Autumn
Variations’ has a rather surprising connection to his other bestie, Taylor
Swift.

After a bit of strumming on his guitar, Ed Sheeran began singing, “We ate
Chinese food in small white boxes, live the life we saw in Friends. Your room it
barely fits the mattress. Wake up, leave for work again. The wind it seems to
blow right through us. Down jackets are the trend.” After he had finished his
little kitchen jam session, Courteney Cox ended the video by asking, “Do I get
paid?”

Though it may be surprising, the news of a song being inspired by Friends comes
2 years after Ed Sheeran revealed that Cox had already been on one of his
previous albums.


THE SHEERAN AND COX COLLABORATION THAT NO ONE EXPECTED

Back at the 2021 MTV VMAs, Ed Sheeran casually decided to reveal that Courteney
Cox’s voice was featured on the artist’s =’ album. Even though he himself was
not too sure which song she was on, he said that she was definitely there on
‘Visiting Hours’ doing the backup vocals. While most people were a little taken
aback by this sudden surprising duo, the ‘Shape of You’ singer managed to shut
everything down with one simple explanation.



He went on to explain that his producer, Johnny McDaid, was dating the star and
that had given the three of them ample time together and they figured out that
Cox had a set of lungs on her. And the rest is history. As for his upcoming
album, it is set to be released on September 29, and from what the singer has
revealed so far; it looks like fans might need to keep the tissues ready.
