Sheeran's friend, music entrepreneur Jamal Edwards, died in 2022 aged 31. Edwards had founded music platform SBTV, which helped launched Sheeran's career.

Sheeran has now said he will "never, ever" touch drugs again after a coroner ruled Edwards's death was drug-related.

As shots of the late Jamal are then shown, Ed continues: "Loss, it just took over my life. Jamal Edwards, the son of Loose Women star Brenda, passed away in February last year aged 31 following a drug overdose. The series, which is due to be released in May, will see the 32-year-old deal with his wife Cherry Seaborn's health scare and the tragic death of his best friend Jamal Edwards. Earlier this year, the singer revealed that his wife was diagnosed with a tumour while she was pregnant with their second child - read more about that

The singer-songwriter said that as a father, he felt 'really embarrassed' by his seemingly 'selfish' thoughts.

And he shouldn’t have done.” And I have had that throughout my life. You’re just sort of in this thing. The global pop star said: “Twelve hours later, he was dead.

[d Sheeran](/topic/ed-sheeran) has said he felt he “didn’t want to live any more” after the death of his best friend [Jamal Edwards](/topic/jamal-edwards) and discovering his pregnant wife had been diagnosed with a tumour.

When Ed Sheeran became a dad, his 'party boy' days ended. Then tragedy struck, forcing him to face his hidden dark side — and hit his hottest creative streak.

“I’ve got loads and loads and loads of shit,” he says. Earlier, he told me he “used to be a party boy in my twenties.” But it went further than that. “I wrote 25 songs the week I wrote ‘Shape of You,’ ” he says. “I felt like I didn’t want to live anymore,” he says, his voice steady. “I went to a really, really sport-orientated primary school,” he says. “People assumed that we were lovers,” Sheeran rapped on a recent tribute to his friend, “F64.” “But we’re brothers in arms.” “That was a big rumor in the industry,” Sheeran says. “And he shouldn’t have done.” He found himself in his latest bout of what he quietly knew to be depression. He loves Van Morrison, but if Sheeran wrote a song called “Listen to the Lion,” it would probably be about a trip to the zoo, and a Top Five worldwide hit to boot. “150 million boring people, by the way,” he shoots back, referring, loosely, to his total album sales, a figure that clearly hovers close to the surface of his mind. First of all, he imagines people seeing it through the highly unsympathetic lens of “Rich Pop Star Feels Sad.” And then there’s the fact of the particular pop star he is. “Yesterday,” Sheeran says, “we cooked, we watched an episode of The Simpsons, went to bed.” “I was the butt of jokes before this,” he says, “and I’m the butt of jokes now, and it’s not necessarily just my music.”

The singer is seen grieving the late SBTV founder in his upcoming docuseries.

Writing songs is my therapy. He also discusses the health issues of his wife Cherry Seaborn, with whom he shares two daughters. He wrote: “At the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art.

Sheeran said that writing songs is his “therapy” after losing friend Edwards as he discussed his new album, due for release on May 5, in a post on Instagram. In announcing his upcoming album Subtract earlier this month, the Shape of You singer said he “spiralled through fear, depression and anxiety” at the time.

Ed Sheeran has spoken about his struggles with suicidal thoughts, and claimed that the UK still has a negative stigma around therapy.
