A first-look at the highly anticipated documentary on Ed Sheeran’s life has revealed a deeply emotional moment. In the trailer, the singer breaks down in tears as he talks about his wife, Cherry Seaborn’s health struggles.
In an Instagram post earlier this month, Sheeran shared that Seaborn, whom he has been married to since 2019, was diagnosed with a tumor while pregnant with their second child last year. On top of this, Sheeran also faced the tragic loss of his best friend, Jamal Edwards, within the same month.
These difficult life events have had a profound impact on Sheeran, and they have shaped the narrative of his upcoming Disney+ docu-series, The Sum of It All. In the trailer, Sheeran reflects on how Cherry’s health and the death of his friend influenced the direction of the documentary.
Instead of a typical music-centered documentary, Sheeran explains, “You guys said, ‘Do you want to make a documentary?’ And I went, ‘Yeah, it should be me in the studio and we’ll play the gig.’ That’s not what the documentary is.”
The trailer cuts to a scene of Sheeran in a car, overcome with emotion as tears stream down his face. The preview has touched the hearts of many fans, who have offered an outpouring of support and admiration for the singer and his wife.
One YouTube commenter wrote, “This doc series just proves that even when fans think he’s a super figure… he’s just a human with ups and downs just like the rest of us. So much respect for Ed and Cherry!” Another expressed excitement for the documentary, stating, “He deserves every bit of success and good things in his life.”
The upcoming documentary, which coincides with the release of Sheeran’s highly anticipated album ‘Subtract’, promises to take viewers on a journey into the life of an “unlikely child with a stutter” who rose to become one of the world’s biggest music superstars. The official synopsis describes the series as a “searingly honest view” into Sheeran’s private life as he explores the universal themes that inspire his music.
Prepare to be moved as Ed Sheeran opens up about his hardships and triumphs during the most challenging period of his life. Stay tuned for the release of The Sum of It All and Sheeran’s new album, ‘Subtract’.
