Brenda Edwards was left fighting back tears on Good Morning Britain as she appeared on the programme to talk about her support for a new campaign. Ahead of talking about an incident which has triggered her to support Virgin Media O2's roll out defibrillators to stores across the UK, she spoke about her son.
Jamal Edwards died suddenly last February, aged 31, of a cardiac arrhythmia caused by recreational drugs. There was an outpouring of shock at the news of the loss of the SB.TV founder who helped launched the careers of Ed Sheeran and Jessie J, and Brenda and her daughter have since been surrounded by support and launched a trust in Jamal's name.
And Brenda has now revealed how she was overcome with emotion after hearing Ed Sheeran's new tribute to her late son after a teaser dropped on SB.TV on Wednesday (January 18) before its full release on Thursday (January 19). Appearing on GMB, a clip of Ed's new track was played.
