When Sheeran announced his new album two weeks ago, he already declared it had become a very personal record and shared some shocking revelations about the songs’ content. “A month later I was told that my pregnant wife had a tumor and there was no way to treat it before the baby was born. One of my best friends, Jamal, died at the same time. On top of that, I was also in court defending my career as a songwriter. I was overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety and depression. I felt like I was drowning. Like I was looking at the surface, but I couldn’t get there to catch my breath.”
