Ed Sheeran’s wife, Cherry Seaborn has revealed how her husband wrote seven tracks in only four hours after he heard she had cancer while being pregnant with their second child.
Cherry Seaborn opened up about her cancer which she was informed could not be treated till after childbirth, in a new documentary titled Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All, set to be released globally on May 3rd, 2023.
The Disney+ special film features a sobbing Sheeran as he recounts the difficult time he was told about his wife’s diagnosis before Seaborn talks about her cancer ordeal in detail.
Seaborn goes on to reveal how the singer coped with the situation, saying, “We had the diagnosis of the tumour and the next day Eds went down into the basement and wrote seven songs in four hours.
Some people write a diary and get their emotions out through the pen and, for Eds, if something really intense happens, he’ll go and write a song.”
To this, Ed explains, “Music’s always been like therapy to me. It was a way to get my thoughts and feelings down as a kid, and it works. It really works.”
