Ed Sheeran 'didn't want to live any more' after best pal's death and pregnant wife's tumour

Ed Sheeran has said he felt he “didn’t want to live any more” after the death of his best friend Jamal Edwards and discovering his pregnant wife Cherry had been diagnosed with a tumour, with the popstar seeking therapy.

Music entrepreneur Jamal, who founded the music platform SBTV in 2006 which helped launch Ed's career, died in February 2022 at the age of 31.

His death came shortly after Ed's wife of four years, Cherry Seaborn, was told by doctors while six months pregnant that she needed surgery for a tumour that could not take place until after she had given birth to the couple’s second child.
