Ed Sheeran matured when his friend Jamal Edwards passed away. Brenda Edwards’ son, a star of “Loose Women,” passed away last year at the age of 31. Sheeran was close to Edwards, who founded SBTV, and was saddened by his death, telling Peloton: “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… it’s just cruel that that is the end of your youth.”  On the anniversary of Edwards’ death, Sheeran wrote on social media:

“Can’t believe it’s been a year. Miss you every day, currently drowning myself in rum listening to tunes you loved xx.”
