An excerpt from his upcoming book Ed Sheeran: A Visual Journey, premiered by MTV, led Ed Sheeran’s fans to assume that he was briefly homeless in the past. But the singer has clarified that it was never so.

“It’s been really taken out of context in press — everyone’s saying Ed Sheeran was homeless. I never say that in the book,” he told Capital FM, reports eonline.com.

“I went without a bed for some nights, that’s it. It’s just that I didn’t have a place to stay [those nights], so I slept on the Central Line and outside Buckingham Palace. That’s just what I did,” he added.

Sheeran has a song named Homeless, and he says it was inspired by the nights outside Buckingham Palace.

Ed Sheeran: A Visual Journey hits stores in the US on November 18.
