Disney+ released a new documentary titled ‘Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All.’ In the documentary, Cherry Seaborn talks about her cancer diagnosis. While giving birth to their second child, doctors found a tumor that, they said, could be removed only after the child’s birth.
The doctors later removed the tumor with a successful surgery. Ed Sheeran suffered a lot during that period. During an interview with Rolling Stone, he said, “There’s nothing you can do about it. You feel so powerless.”
During the documentary, Cherry Seaborn opened up about her diagnosis. She said, “I got diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year which was a massive s****ter. It made me massively reflect on our mortality. I would never agree to do anything like this but it made me think, ‘Oh if I died, what’s people’s perception of me? What do you leave behind?’ “
Seaborn added, “For Ed, the whole point is he wants to say to people, ‘I’m not just this music machine. I’m not just this robot that tries to get No. 1. I’m a father, I’m a son, I’m a friend.’ It wasn’t until this year when I was like, ‘I might die.’ “
