Ed Sheeran’s wife Cherry Seaborn reveals the singer wrote seven tracks in just four hours after she was diagnosed with cancer

 Cherry Seaborn, Ed Sheeran’s wife, has shared how, in an effort to cope with the devastating news that she had cancer while she was pregnant with their second daughter, her husband wrote seven songs in just four hours.

In a new Ed Sheeran documentary, the 32-year-old talked about her cancer, which she was told could not be treated until she gave birth at the time: The Sum of It All, which will be released worldwide on May 3, 2023.

Before Seaborn discusses her experience with cancer in detail, the Disney+ special features a sobbing Sheeran recounting the difficult time he went through when he was informed of her diagnosis.

She says in the documentary, “Long story short, I got diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year, which was a massive s**tter, but it made me massively reflect on our mortality.”

“I was saying to Eds that I’d never, ever, ever agreed to do anything like this before, but it made me think all year about what people would think of me if I died.

“What will I leave behind?” It really wasn’t until this year when I was very much like, ‘I could pass on,'” she adds.

“We had the diagnosis of the tumour, and the next day Eds went down into the basement and wrote seven songs in four hours,” Seaborn continues, explaining how the singer handled the situation.

“Some people write a diary to express their feelings, and Eds will go write a song when something really intense happens,”

Ed responds, “Music has always been like therapy for me.” As a child, I used it to express my feelings and thoughts, and it works. It truly does work.
