Ed Sheeran breaks down during Subtract performance over death of pal Jamal Edwards

Ed Sheeran struggled to hold back his emotions during a recent performance of his new album 'Subtract'. The pop star took to the stage on Wednesday (May 10) for a special intimate show with Apple Music Live at the Eventim Apollo in London - and broke down as he admitted he's 'still not over' the death of close friend Jamal Edwards.

While chatting to the audience in between songs, he told of how he 'wanted the world to stop' when he found out the news of Jamal's passing, and dedicated two songs to him. Sharing his grief, he said: "I'm still not over it, I don't want to be."

While welling up with tears, he also warned audience members: "This will happen a lot in the gig," before grabbing a towel and wiping his eyes. You can watch the moment on the official Apple Music website.
