Ed Sheeren Speaks About Suicidal Thoughts After Life Tragedies

Ed Sheeran faced suicidal thoughts after the death of his best friend Jamal Edwards.

Jamal, a music producer and the son of Loose Women star Brenda Edwards, tragically died after a cardiac arrest brought on by cocaine and alcohol in February 2022 at the age of 31.

Ed, 32, detailed feeling like he was 'drowning', when another close friend, Australian cricketer Shane Warne passed away the following month.

In a raw interview with Rolling Stone, the singer explained he felt shame around his suicidal thoughts as they seemed 'selfish'.

Meanwhile in the same chat, Ed also admitted that he'd developed an eating disorder as he compared himself to other pop stars including Justin Bieber.
