Ed Sheeran stated that he is still “waiting” to meet his hero, Bob Dylan. The singer and songwriter, who last week released his new album “Autumn Variations” explained in a recent interview that Dylan is the last of his idols that he hasn’t met.

I’ve met them all but Dylan…but if you meet Bob Dylan prematurely…I don’t want to imagineSheeran said.

My rule is always that I will never seek to meet someone, I will wait for them to meet mehe said.

The musician also remembered his meeting with Eminem, saying: “I wanted him to say ‘I like your songs'”.

I waited and after four years he said: “We have to do a song” and we became friendshe added.

Ed Sheeran in an earlier interview with WatchMojo compared Dylan to Eminem. “You might say they’re two completely different artists, but all you have to do with Eminem is put a guitar behind his words and it’s very similarhe argued.
