Ed Sheeran has released an emotional tribute to entrepreneur Jamal Edwards. The singer-songwriter released the track through the late entrepreneur's platform SBTV.
DJ and music entrepreneur Edwards, who was made an MBE for his services to music in 2014, died on February 20 last year at the age of 31. The return of SBTV series F64 saw Sheeran kick off with a 64-bar freestyle tribute to Edwards, who died from cardiac arrhythmia caused by having taken recreational drugs, a coroner previously ruled at an inquest opening.
The music video opens with a shaky camera pointing at 31-year-old Sheeran, who is lit up by two spotlights and standing in a circle of candles. Wearing a blue jumper and jeans, Sheeran begins to rap: “Yo Jam, this is a letter to you, it’s been a while but it’s been hard for me to get in the booth.
