Earlier this year, Sheeran spoke with the BBC about his friendship with Eminem, explaining that they bond over their mutual love for collecting cassettes.
“I collect cassettes and I’ve got Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder and they are quite difficult to find,” he said. “The only person I know who collects the same is Eminem. He collects cassettes – that’s his thing. He loves collecting. He is avid at going to find them. We have started having this, it’s like a very cool pen-pal thing.”
