He’ll play “Brendan”, an older musician that Lisa becomes “smitten” with. The season 29 episode will also feature an appearance from George Takei.

It’s the first we’ve heard about the episode since Sheeran made the announcement back in July and his trip to Springfield will be added to other acting credits, including his polarising appearance on Game Of Thrones in 2017.

Sheeran will undertake a mammoth Australian tour this March, all the info of which you can find in theGuide.
