Following the passing of his best friend Jamal Edwards, singer Ed Sheeran has sworn never to do drugs again.
Jamal, a businessman in the music industry who established the music network SBTV in 2006 and helped Ed launch his career, passed away in February 2022 at the age of 31.
An inquest last year concluded that Jamal passed away from a heart attack following a late-night drug and alcohol session.
At the inquest, it was revealed that three tiny snap bags with trace amounts of white powder were discovered on Jamal after he passed out.
Back in August, Assistant West London Coroner Ivor Collett made the determination that Mr. Edwards passed away from a cardiac arrest triggered by cocaine use and alcohol consumption.
Galway Girl hitmaker Ed, 32, has pledged to never again create music after Jamal's untimely murder.
Ed, who recently released an emotional track in tribute to his late friend, said that it would be disrespectful to ever play around with substances again after Jamal tragically lost his life to drugs.
In an incredibly honest confession, Ed told Rolling Stone Magazine that once upon a time, he used to take drugs twice a day – but he has now sworn off them forever after the shock of his best friend’s death.
The chart-topping singer said: “I would never, ever, ever touch anything again, because that’s how Jamal died.
“And that’s just disrespectful to his memory to even, like, go near.”
Discussing his drug use in detail for the first time, Ed confessed that he first started taking them in his mid-20s, and then gradually became hooked on them
Ed explained: “I was always a drinker. I didn’t touch any sort of like, drug, until I was 24.
“I remember just being at a festival and being like, ‘Well, if all of my friends do it, it can’t be that bad.’ And then sort of dabbling. 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.“
Ed went on to say that doing drugs just ‘became bad vibes’ for him eventually.
The singing sensation also recently confessed that he ‘didn’t want to live anymore’ after Jamal’s death, and after his wife Cherry was diagnosed with a tumour while she was pregnant with their second child.
Earlier this year, Ed delivered an emotional tribute to the late SBTV founder Jamal in a beautiful track which was released online.
Wearing a blue jumper and jeans, the music icon begins to rap: “Yo Jam, this is a letter to you, it’s been a while but it’s been hard for me to get in the booth.
“Since we last spoke I’ve become a father of two trying to live life with a smile but that’s been harder to do. Because all I want to do is talk about you, but these tears won’t let me talk about you. We should have known that we’d be lost without you.“
