Jamal, who was a hugely influential music entrepreneur and DJ, died unexpectedly in February 2022 at the age of 31. He famously helped launch Ed’s career with his SBTV YouTube channel, and the pair shared a super close friendship.

Ed also seemingly mentioned his infamous copyright lawsuit of April 2022, writing in his post, “I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter.” Ed was sued for copyright infringement by artists Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue. He won the case.

“I was spiraling through fear, depression, and anxiety. I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air,” he wrote.

The newly released trailer begins by charting Ed’s “unlikely” rise to fame, with the singer even giving a shoutout to Jamal for being the “one person” to believe in his potential early on.

The footage later shows Ed gushing about his love for Cherry, saying: “Everything in my life got so much better when Cherry got into it. I got married, and I’m a dad who’s got two daughters.”

However, the tone of the docuseries changes when Ed mentions the deterioration of Cherry’s health during her pregnancy.

Ed appears solemn as he describes Cherry’s health as “really bad,” while the trailer appears to show a shot of the couple in a hospital.

Going on to address Jamal’s death shortly afterward, Ed can be heard saying, “And then suddenly, my best friend Jamal dies,” while several clips of the late music pioneer play onscreen. The trailer then shows Ed breaking down into tears.

“The loss, it just took over my life,” he later adds, before describing life as “unpredictable” and saying, “plans can change really quickly.”
