Ed Sheeran, 32, has opened up about how Jamal Edwards’ death at the age of 31 made him become more mature.
The late music entrepreneur tragically died in February 2022 from a heart attack caused by a combination of cocaine and alcohol.
Struggling to come to terms with the loss of the DJ who played a significant role in propelling his career, Ed has confessed that it was through this experience that he truly matured.
He told the Mirror: “The one thing I’ve realized 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.”

“And when it happens, I had friends that had closed up about their parents dying. And as soon as this happened, I found them opening up to me.
“I found my mum opening up to me about losses in her life that she’s never spoken to me about.”
In an interview with exercise brand Peloton, featuring songs from his new album Subtract, Ed also emphasized the grounding influence of his daughter, Jupiter, during challenging times.
He shared: “Throughout sadness with kids, they’re having a great time. But also, it’s just their world.
“You know, she’s sad, she’s sad, she’s happy, she’s happy, but you have to come along for the ride.”
The impact of Jamal’s death on Ed’s upcoming album, Subtract, was evident as several tracks were removed at the last minute, turning the LP into a reflection of grief and the journey of recovery.
