Ed Sheeran 'didn't want to live' after Jamal Edwards, Shane Warne’s death

Ed Sheeran misses his friends.

After the passing in 2022 of his pals, SBTV founder Jamal Edwards and cricketer Shane Warne, Ed Sheeran claim he "didn't want to live any more."

The celebrity claimed in an interview with Rolling Stone that he has struggled with depression "throughout my life" and that last year saw a resurgence of the symptoms.

"You're under the waves drowning. You're just sort of in this thing. And you can't get out of it."

Given that he is the father of two girls, he was concerned that his ideas were "selfish."

"Especially as a father, I feel really embarrassed about it," the 32-year-old said.

Ed Sheeran's wife Cherry Seaborn 'helped'  him

Sheeran attributes his wife Cherry Seaborn's encouragement to his decision to seek assistance.

"No one really talks about their feelings where I come from," he said. "People think it's weird getting a therapist in England.… I think it's very helpful to be able to speak with someone and just vent and not feel guilty about venting.

"Obviously, like, I've lived a very privileged life. So my friends would always look at me like, 'Oh, it's not that bad.'

"The help isn't a button that is pressed, where you're automatically OK," he continued. "It is something that will always be there and just has to be managed."
