Ed Sheeran has made a surprising announcement that her wife, Cherry Seaborn, had a tumor last year that could only be treated after the birth of their second child.
The 32-year-old revealed how many life-changing occurrences in February 2022 influenced the direction of his new album, "Subtract," which will be published in May.
Apart from his pregnant wife's tumor, he also informed that his best buddy Jamal Edward died unexpectedly. He is also recognized for assisting Ed Sheeran's and Rita Ora's careers. Jamal died as a result of a recreational drug overdose.
"I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiraling through fear, depression and anxiety."
The "Thinking Out Loud" hitmaker told his millions of fans, "I had been working on 'Subtract' for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be."
He mentioned that the events altered his life, and his mental health changed how he viewed music and art.
"I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air."
