Sheeran, 25, who performed with Mayer at the 2015 GRAMMYs, as well as on "The Late Late Show" that year, said the 39-year-old singer-songwriter has played a guitar solo in his album, pronounced as "Divide", reported Entertainment Tongiht.
"I got John Mayer on a guitar solo that's uncredited that's quite cool. I did a really terrible guitar solo on a song and I was like, 'I bet John Mayer could do this better.' So I emailed him and he did it a lot better," he said.
"I'm still a pretty simple person anyway, so I'm still living in simpler times. Fame is like, you just have to find a way to deal with it in your own way, and the reason I took the break is I didn't know how to deal with it so I wasn't really enjoying it.
"I've now kind of recharged my batteries and thought about why I was in the music industry and came back with a sort of different view and I don't really mind, like I'm really grateful that people have a lot of love for the music I make which is nice," he said.
