Benny Blanco travels with Ed Sheeran on ship as they worked on 'Divide'
Meanwhile, two years ago, Blanco had revealed a very interesting story regarding his aerophobia that included Ed Sheeran as well.
During an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, in April 2024, the recipient of the 2013 Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame said, “I don't fly. I took a boat to Europe.”
“I literally take the Titanic to Europe. It's the same boat — when you're on the boat, like day three, they're like, 'This is where the Titanic sank.' And you're just in the middle of no where,” he explained.
Blanco then added jokingly that he and Sheeran “watched Titanic in bed cuddling on the fourth night. I swear.”
Benny Blanco calls Ed Sheeran 'the nicest guy'
The two worked on ‘Divide’ on the same boat, as Blanco told Fallon, “Ed's so nice. He's the nicest guy in the world. They gave us a room to write it in. It was the same room that... There was a daytime pianist that was like an 85-year-old woman. She would come in to practice everyday and had no idea who either one of us was. She was like, 'Hey, it's my time to practice.’”
“We'd be in the middle of writing like 'Perfect' or 'Happier.' Ed is so nice he would sit there and wait. She was a great pianist, I'll tell you. She didn't know anyone. I loved her,” he added.
