Ed Sheeran Reveals Wife Cherry's Tumor Diagnosis, Opens Up About Best Friend's Death in 'Subtract' Album Announcement

On his wife Cherry’s diagnosis, and Jamal’s death…

“Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth. My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly, and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety. I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air.”
