[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Ed Sheeran is opening up like never before. The Shape of You singer spoke to Rolling Stone for their upcoming April issue on Tuesday, and he’s ready to share his struggles with the world.
In the interview the notoriously private musician spoke on a broad range of topics — and even gave a rare look inside his family life with his wife Cherry Seaborn and their two daughters Lyra and Jupiter.
Kicking off the interview, Ed spoke about F64, the song he released in January to honor the memory of best friend Jamal Edwards, who died suddenly in 2022.
The 32-year-old hitmaker said he didn’t really “address” his own mental health until after his friend’s death: The Thinking Out Loud singer and his self-proclaimed “brother” were so close there was even once a rumor they were more than friends: Ed went on to say the night Jamal overdosed on cocaine he was sitting and having dinner with Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
