Ed Sheeran, a chart-topping singer best recognized for his soulful voice and successful songs, has lately spoken up about his personal struggles with melancholy and anxiety.
In 2022, the Perfect hitmaker suffered the loss of his best friend, Jamal Edwards, who died at the age of 31. However, his wife, Cherry, was diagnosed with a tumor when pregnant with their second child, and he was unable to attend his grandmother's burial due to a copyright battle.
He told TIME magazine, "One thing I've learned about depression is that you don't take a magic pill and it's suddenly gone."
"But you might have phases in your life when you're better and others when you're not. It becomes less unpleasant with each passing year, but you should always allow yourself to grieve. "Don't put it in a box and lock it away," he said.
Sheeran's 2023 albums and Autumn Variations did not perform as well as his previous blockbusters. But when things became tough, his pal Sir Elton John offered him the counsel he needed to get through the rut.
The Shape of You singer explained, "He's had decades of his career where things haven't gone well, and then he comes back with 'The Lion King' or something like that.
"It's an inspiring thing, because it just means that you don't ever have to judge your career on how you are at that point in time."
Earlier, during his appearance on The Tonight Show, Ed Sheeran revealed a surprise revelation: he hasn't used a phone since 2015.
