The Shape Of You hitmaker expressed his grief when Jamal, who he considered family, suddenly passed away in Feb.
“Jamal is my brother. His light shone so bright. He only used it to illuminate others and never asked for anything in return,” Sheeran wrote.
“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.”
In September, Jamal’s mother Brenda and sister Tanisha held a star-studded charity event to raise funds for the Jamal Edwards Trust Gala.
