Ed Sheeran to Coldplay: Every band who has starred in Game Of Thrones
Ed Sheeran made his appearance on Game Of Thrones
Don't worry, it's not too much of a spoiler.
Game Of Thrones is back and the first episode of series seven starred in a small, but memorable role.
He was seen performing a brand new song (it wasn't quite as catchy as Shape Of You TBH) but it impressed Arya Stark, who came across Ed with a group of Lannister soldiers.
Ed's role wasn't too crucial to the plot, so don't worry - we've not spoiled any major moments here.
He is the latest and arguably the biggest star to land a cameo in Game Of Thrones and the show's creators, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, said they had been trying to persuade Ed to appear for some time.
There were also rumours that he was booked because Maisie Williams (who plays Arya on the show) is such a big fan.
But of course, Ed Sheeran isn't the first musician to appear on Game Of Thrones. Here's every band who have made a cameo in the show (and one new rumour). He's definitely in good company.

Ed Sheeran
Ed was confirmed for a cameo in series seven of Game Of Thrones in March 2017, making his appearance in the season's first episode.
He was seen singing an original song (of course) as part of the Lannister army - which makes him a bit of a villain in the Game Of Thrones universe.
He watched the episode with music producer Benny Blanco, who had never seen the show before. of Benny's review on his Instagram account. "It's pretty good," said Benny.
Ed also posted two photos of himself in full Lannister gear - from the episode and a selfie taken on set with Maisie Williams.
Coldplay
Will Champion, drummer with , made a cameo in one of Game Of Thrones most shocking scenes ever, The Red Wedding.
He played a drummer (with ease) at the infamous TV and book event, where the noble Stark family were, err, 'removed' from the plot.
Coldplay also made a Game Of Thrones musical for Red Nose Day in 2015.

Joffrey though, wasn't so lucky, after being poisoned on the day of his marriage to Margery Tyrell. Sigur Ros recorded the song especially for the show to perform during their cameo.

Mastodon
Metal band (we'll ask Radio 1's for more info) starred in episode eight of series 5, titled Hardhome.
They all met with horrible deaths playing wildlings in one of the show's most dramatic and epic episodes yet, as a village was besieged by an army of the undead and White walkers.
Drummer Brann Dailor later said he didn't mind being killed at all and that filming the scenes made him love being in Mastodon more than ever.
