Ed Sheeran 'breaks down in tears twice' at charity gig and announces new album next year

Ed Sheeran reportedly welled up twice at an exclusive charity gig last night, as he confirmed his much anticipated new album is on it's way.

The hitmaker cried as he spoke about his close friend Jamal Edwards who died in February this year aged just 31, and played eight tracks from his new record for just 600 fans at a London concert, it has been reported.

Ed was playing at London's Union Chapel, in support of singer Will Young's charity Wellstock, which aims to raise awareness about mental health, when he confirmed he'll release a new album next year.
