VIDEO : Game of Thrones Director Defends Sheeran Cameo

One Game of Thrones director is standing by the show?s most recent cameo appearance. While Game of Thrones is no stranger to cameos from famous musicians ? Sigur Ros, Coldplay?s Will Champion, Snow Patrol?s Gary Lightbody, and Of Monsters and Men have all appeared at various points throughout the show?s run ? fans were particularly surprised by Ed Sheeran?s sudden appearance in last week?s season 7 premiere. The singer/songwriter was a part of a small group of Lannister soldiers that Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) happened upon across during her journey to King?s Landing, all of whom showed her a surprising level of kindness.
