GoT showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss were with stars Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) and Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) at a SXSW panel in Austin on Sunday, and they announced another guest cameo.

Benioff: "For years we were trying to get Ed Sheeran on the show to surprise Maisie and this year we finally did it."

Sheeran addressed the news with a link to a post on his appearance:

There were rumors that UFC fighter Conor McGregor would have a cameo this season. Past seasons have featured musician cameos from Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol, Will Champion from Coldplay, Sigur Rós, and Mastodon. As Vanity Fair noted, we don't know yet if Sheeran will be performing or singing (or both) or if he'll have an unrecognizable cameo like the members of Mastadon, who played zombified wildlings.

Weiss: "A lot of say they would they would like to , and then we tell them is so boring. 'You're gonna hate this — you're going to be sitting around three days for 12 hours a day.'"

Then stop giving cameos to musicians? Season 7 premieres July 16 on HBO.
