Ed Sheeran Revealed His Wife Found Out She Had A Tumor While Pregnant With Their Second Child,“I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air.”
Ed Sheeran Revealed His Wife Found Out She Had A Tumor While Pregnant With Their Second Child
Ed Sheeran has revealed that his wife, Cherry Seaborn, found out she had a tumor during her second pregnancy.
On Wednesday, Ed shared an Instagram post announcing the upcoming release of his new album, Subtract.
“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 began.
“Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art,” he wrote.
“Writing songs is my therapy. It helps me make sense of my feelings. I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out. And in just over a week I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts,” he went on.
“Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth,” he revealed.
“I would not be here without him, professionally and personally. There will never be anything close to what he is, but I’m so grateful to have existed within his orbit. My brother, come on,” Ed added.
In April 2022, Ed won a copyright lawsuit against artists Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue, who accused him of infringing upon Sami’s song “Oh Why” in his hit “Shape of You.”
Addressing the case in a brief video shared to Twitter at the time, Ed said: “Lawsuits are not a pleasant experience. And I hope this ruling, it means in the future baseless claims like this can be avoided. This really does have to end.”
“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. This album is purely that. It’s opening the trapdoor into my soul,” he continued.
Ed concluded, “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.”
