SHEERAN: DEATH OF MY PAL JAMAL MADE ME GROW UP

SINGER Ed Sheeran says he only grew up after the death of best friend Jamal Edwards. 

Music entrepreneur Jamal, 31, died from a heart attack in February 2022 after taking cocaine and drinking alcohol.

And Sheeran, 32, said he struggled to cope with the loss of the DJ who gave him his big break.

He added: “The one thing I’ve realised is the moment death happens, a real close, close death, is when you become an adult.

“That’s when adulting begins, that’s when real-life s*** begins.”

Sheeran said he felt lucky he did not suffer grief until his 30s, unlike schoolmates forced into adulthood at 13 when their dads died.

He added: “You can be six and go through that and it’s just cruel that that is the end of your youth.”
