Ed Sheeran revealed that his friend Courteney Cox has contributed to his songs over the years, which makes sense since she’s dating one of his music collaborators.
Celebrity She’s credited on an old song about his grandfather’s death and potentially on a new track. “Smelly Cat” creator Phoebe Buffay isn’t the only aspiring musicians on Friends. Courteney Cox apparently sings backup vocals on Ed Sheeran’s new album = (pronounced Equals), according to the “Bad Habits” singer — but he’s not entirely sure which song she’s on. At the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards on Sept.12, Sheeran told Entertainment Tonight that his good friend Cox sings on his upcoming album, which comes out Oct.27. “She sings,” he said. “I’m pretty sure she sings on background vocals on the album. I think she’s on ‘Visiting Hours.’” Sheeran wrote “Visiting Hours” in tribute to his late close friend and mentor, Australian music mogul Michael Gudinski, and released the song on Aug.19, when his fourth solo studio album was announced. The iconic Kylie Minogue, who was signed by Gudinski at the start of her career, sings backup on the song along with other singers, but Cox’s name is not listed as a background vocalist, according to listings on Tidal and Genius.
