On March 21, British male singer Ed Sheeran told the darkest moment in his life in an exclusive interview. It includes details of family life, illicit drug dependence, and the fight against depression. Especially after facing the blow of the death of his best friend, he had suicidal thoughts.
Since the beginning of 2022, a series of misfortunes and blows have plunged Ed Sheeran into a deep depression. Including his wife Cherry Seaborn, who was found to have a tumor when she was pregnant with her second child, the death of her best friend, and a copyright infringement lawsuit.
In May last year, Ed Sheeran officially announced the birth of his second daughter. However, when his wife was pregnant, she was diagnosed with a tumor and had to wait until after delivery, and the operation was successfully completed in June.
In February of the same year, his best friend, Jamal Edwards, a 31-year-old British singer and music entrepreneur, died suddenly from cardiac arrest caused by alcohol and illegal drugs.
In March, legendary Australian cricketer Shane Vaughan, another of Ed Sheeran's best friends, died of a heart attack while on holiday in Thailand at the age of 52.
During this time, Ed Sheeran lost hope in life and suffered from depression. He said bitterly: "My life is like drowning in the waves, there is no escape, I really don't want to live." But as a father of two, he understood that suicide was a selfish choice and began seeking treatment with the help of his wife.
In addition, Ed Sheeran spoke frankly about his addiction to alcohol and illegal drugs, and finally he quit addiction for his wife and two children. Ed Sheeran, who said he had been an alcoholic until he was 24 years old, admitted that he used some and slowly became a habit. Especially after the death of a close friend, the dependence on it has increased.
Of course, the main reason is Jamal Edward's sudden death due to illegal drugs, which made Ed Sheeran realize that he should not touch these things again. He vowed never to touch illegal drugs again because it was disrespectful to his deceased friend.
In addition to battling addiction issues, Ed Sheeran also has to deal with eating disorders. As a public figure, when people talk about his figure and even compare it to others, he will fall into anxiety and anxiety, and hope that he also has a good body. Especially after seeing that their celebrity friends have great physiques. So he often falls into a state of gluttony and then vomits it all again. This psychological struggle made Ed Sheeran feel quite painful.
But after the storm comes the rainbow, Boss Huang (the beloved name given to him by domestic fans) is slowly coming out of the haze, and his fifth studio album "-" will be released on May 5, once again wishing him a big sale.
