Ed Sheeran 'didn't want to live any more' after deaths of friends ... (The Guardian)

Singer tells Rolling Stone he sought therapy in wake of grief – and that as well as his forthcoming sixth album, he has two more records ready for release.

“I want to slowly make this album that is quote-unquote ‘perfect’ for the rest of my life, adding songs here and there,” he said. “And just have it in my will that after I die, it comes out.” “He’s a brilliant writer,” he says. “I pictured this month a little bit different / No one is ever ready.” “I was in the One Direction wave, and I’m like, ‘Well, why don’t I have a six pack?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, because you love kebabs and drink beer.’ Then you do songs with Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes. He told Rolling Stone he was aware that collaborating with Dessner might bring him the kind of critical approbation that the commercial behemoth hasn’t often had in his career to date. And then it just turns into a habit that you do once a week and then once a day and then, like, twice a day and then, like, without booze. “All my biggest records, they hate,” he said. “The help isn’t a button that is pressed, where you’re automatically OK,” he continued. In the announcement for Subtract, Sheeran said that it had also been influenced by Seaborn being diagnosed with a tumour when she was pregnant with their second child, Jupiter, which could not be operated on until after delivery. “I remember just being at a festival and being like, ‘Well, if all of my friends do it, it can’t be that bad,’” he said, not naming the substance. “I feel really embarrassed about it.”

Ed Sheeran Cover Story Interview: New Album '-,' Tour, Taylor Swift (Rolling Stone)

In his most revealing interviews ever, Ed Sheeran discusses making his new album '-,' falling into depression, his massive new tour and much more.

“I’ve got loads and loads and loads of shit,” he says. He walks into a room to write a song, and tells me how grateful he is to be doing this.” With Ed, his frequency band is so wide that it really can come from anywhere and be anything.” But it’s a mistake, McDaid argues, to confuse facility with being facile: “He approaches every song he writes as if it’s the first song and the last song. “I wrote 25 songs the week I wrote ‘Shape of You,’ ” he says. “It is something that will always be there and just has to be managed.” “I went to a really, really sport-orientated primary school,” he says. “People assumed that we were lovers,” Sheeran rapped on a recent tribute to his friend, “F64.” “But we’re brothers in arms.” “That was a big rumor in the industry,” Sheeran says. He loves Van Morrison, but if Sheeran wrote a song called “Listen to the Lion,” it would probably be about a trip to the zoo, and a Top Five worldwide hit to boot. If he’s grown up and is a father now, he sings, “I have grown up/I am a father now” — the opening line of 2021’s =. First of all, he imagines people seeing it through the highly unsympathetic lens of “Rich Pop Star Feels Sad.” And then there’s the fact of the particular pop star he is. “Yesterday,” Sheeran says, “we cooked, we watched an episode of The Simpsons, went to bed.” “I was the butt of jokes before this,” he says, “and I’m the butt of jokes now, and it’s not necessarily just my music.”

Ed Sheeran breaks down in tears in first trailer of new documentary (Heart)

Ed Sheeran opens up about his wife's tumour and the death of his best friend Jamal Edwards in the documentary titled Ed Sheeran: The Sum Of It All.

As an artist I didn’t feel like I could credibly put a body of work into the world that didn’t accurately represent where I am and how I need to express myself at this point in my life. For the first time, I’m not trying to craft an album people will like, I’m merely putting something out that’s honest and true to where I am in my adult life. And in just over a week I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts. The full post reads: "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. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety. Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth.
