In a new trailer for The Sum of It All, a four-part series that will premiere on Disney+ on May 3, Ed Sheeran was seen in tears as he talked about his wife’s health issues and the unexpected death of his best friend, Jamal Edwards.
Ed had recently revealed that he had “spiraled” into depression when his wife was diagnosed with a tumor while pregnant last year, and his first mentor, Jamal Edwards, passed away from a heart attack in February 2022.
The trailer showed the singer-songwriter crying as he struggled with the loss of his friend and his wife’s health battle, as she prepared to give birth to their second child, Jupiter, who was born in May 2022.
The teaser opened with Ed discussing his childhood, growing up with a stutter, and saying that “that guy doesn’t grow up to be a pop star. It’s so unlikely.”
Childhood videos of Ed were interspersed with clips of him on stage during his sellout arena tours. Viewers will see him going from the beginning of his career to becoming one of music’s biggest stars.
The four-part series will also delve into Ed’s relationship with his best friend Jamal, who gave him his first big break, and their friendship before Jamal’s sudden death last year.
Jamal, a music producer and the son of Loose Women star Brenda Edwards, died tragically after a cardiac arrest brought on by cocaine and alcohol at the age of 31.
