Ed Sheeran has admitted he "didn’t want to live any more" after his best friend died and his pregnant wife was diagnosed with a tumour. The singer-songwriter said he felt "powerless" and has spoken about his mental health.
Sheeran's friend, music entrepreneur Jamal Edwards, died in 2022 aged 31. Edwards had founded music platform SBTV, which helped launched Sheeran's career.
Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Sheeran explained he had been at dinner with Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn, the night before his best friend's death. He had been texting Edwards about shooting a music video the next day.
