Brenda Edwards reveals Ed Sheeran spent days comforting her following Jamal’s passing
STAR Ed Sheeran spent days comforting a pal’s mum after his death, she revealed yesterday.
Brenda Edwards said the singer “was literally at my house for a week . . . just looking after us” after Jamal died.
The music entrepreneur and DJ, 31, passed away after a drug-induced heart attack last February.
Sheeran, 31, started out on Jamal’s music platform and his new song is a tribute to his friend.
Brenda, 53, told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “Ed sent me the final edit two days ago and I’ve kind of been in and out of crying ever since.
“When Jamal passed, he was literally at my house for a whole week just looking after us.
“It’s really amazing Ed and so many people have supported us.”
Shortly after Jamal’s death, Sheeran shared an Instagram post of the younger-looking pair with the caption: “I haven’t posted anything coz I can’t find the words, I can’t reply coz I don’t know what to say.
“Jamal is my brother. His light shone so bright.
“He only used it to illuminate others and never asked for anything in return.
“A star’s light shines for millions of years after they go, and his will continue to light up every dark moment, we are all witnessing his power.
“I would not be here without him, professionally and personally.
“There will never be anything close to what he is, but I’m so grateful to have existed within his orbit. My brother, come on.”
