it's the most amazing thing in my life
that no one really knows about.
181
00:09:23,437 --> 00:09:26,147
Everything in my life sort of got
so much better when she got into it.

{\an8}- Last tuk-tuk--
- [Cherry] This is so cool.
185
00:09:34,073 --> 00:09:35,623
[Sheeran] We went on a tuk-tuk in Bangkok.
186
00:09:35,616 --> 00:09:38,196
- Do you remember that party tuk-tuk?
- That was a party tuk-tuk.
187
00:09:38,202 --> 00:09:39,832
- Yeah, I--
- I just have images of us,
188
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:41,039
like, leaning out the windows.
189
00:09:41,038 --> 00:09:43,368
I had to have a tactical nap
halfway through the night.
190
00:09:43,374 --> 00:09:44,834
- I just slept.
- [Cherry laughs]
191
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:46,924
- So when we first started...
- Oh, my God.
192
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:49,209
...getting together,
I was living in New York.
193
00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:53,343
And I was like, I knew Ed from school,
so I know what he'll want to do.
194
00:09:53,342 --> 00:09:54,552
I've got this nailed.
195
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:57,852
- We went boating in, um, Central Park.
- [Sheeran] Central Park.
196
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:58,927
On that lake.
197
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:03,601
But it was, like, the busiest, busiest,
hottest day of the year in New York.
198
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:05,983
Um, like, we were--
So we were rowing out... [chuckles]
199
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:07,060
I was rowing, right?
200
00:10:07,064 --> 00:10:08,824
I got into the middle of the lake,
and just--
201
00:10:08,816 --> 00:10:11,686
These boats just started surrounding us.
But all these tourists.
202
00:10:11,694 --> 00:10:14,664
- They were all rowing after us.
- They were filming and taking pictures.
203
00:10:14,655 --> 00:10:16,615
- I'm like--
- Ed was sweating. [chuckles]
204
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:18,576
And then Chez goes,
"Do you want me to row?"
205
00:10:18,576 --> 00:10:21,786
I was like, "Cherry, the last thing
I need is a picture of you rowing me."
206
00:10:21,787 --> 00:10:23,287
[both chuckle]
207
00:10:24,415 --> 00:10:26,035
Cherry's apartment, it wasn't even a room.
208
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:30,252
You had a, like-- It was a living room
that they put a par-- a partition in.
209
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:33,224
After a month, she was like,
"Oh, I've got a room at another apartment.
210
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:34,335
Will you help me move out?"
211
00:10:34,342 --> 00:10:36,722
I was like, "Yeah, new boyfriend.
I'll help you move out."
212
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:40,009
So we packed up all the boxes,
and again hottest day of the summer.
213
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:42,354
- Forty-second...
- Lifting all these boxes.
214
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:44,230
- We got to the lockup.
- Oh, yeah.
215
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,726
- Ben had rented one.
- Move everything.
216
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:50,608
In my mind I was like, "Next time,
we should pay movers to do that."
217
00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:51,898
- This is--
- No, don't make it--
218
00:10:51,901 --> 00:10:54,241
Ed always tells this story,
and it drives me mad.
219
00:10:54,236 --> 00:10:56,566
- He's like, I'm crazy...
- Can I finish the story?
220
00:10:56,572 --> 00:10:59,332
...for not getting--
for not getting a removal van in.
221
00:10:59,325 --> 00:11:03,905
It's like, who can afford at 22 years old
to get a removal van in
222
00:11:03,913 --> 00:11:06,713
- to move them out of their flat?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay.
223
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:10,748
Yeah, I didn't think it was gonna
ever be any more than that weekend.
224
00:11:10,753 --> 00:11:11,923
And here we are.
225
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:13,261
Here we are. Marriage. Two kids.
226
00:11:13,255 --> 00:11:16,295
He basically kept coming back for--
for promo. [chuckles]
227
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:19,390
There was a reason I kept coming back.
I didn't just keep coming back.

like that at that point in our lives
313
00:15:57,873 --> 00:16:00,923
was both of us
had kind of a mutual feeling

00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,195
Even the not crazy stuff, it just worked.
324
00:16:31,198 --> 00:16:32,528
- And it was--
- [child screams]
325
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:34,373
Sorry, those are my kids
playing in the background.
326
00:16:34,368 --> 00:16:37,288
I had the date of the engagement
engraved on the ring.
327
00:16:37,287 --> 00:16:38,537
- So--
- It had to happen on that day.
328
00:16:38,539 --> 00:16:40,619
It had to happen on this day. I was like...
329
00:16:40,624 --> 00:16:42,754
He was, "We have to get out.
We've got so much to do today."
330
00:16:42,751 --> 00:16:44,341
And I was, "We have nothing to do today.
331
00:16:44,336 --> 00:16:47,456
This is our first day of holiday.
We have absolutely nothing to do today."
332
00:16:47,464 --> 00:16:49,974
And I was like, "Mate,
you've got to stop acting like this."
333
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:52,507
He came into the sitting room.
I'd just made this food.
334
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:54,261
And he was like, "We've gotta do this."
335
00:16:54,263 --> 00:16:56,313
And I was like, "Ed, stop being such a..."
336
00:16:56,306 --> 00:16:57,386
- Like, I actually--
- C word.
337
00:16:57,391 --> 00:16:58,481
Like, I cannot say it.
338
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:03,185
I, like, spun around as I was saying it.
And he was on one knee with the ring out.
339
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:04,518
I was like, "Oh!"
340
00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:08,403
And she said, "Are you joking?"
And I just said, "Please?"
341
00:17:08,402 --> 00:17:09,532
[Cherry laughing]
342
00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:13,162
He doesn't see barriers at all
in anything.
343
00:17:13,157 --> 00:17:15,737
Like, it's just like, "I wanna do this,
and I'm gonna go and do it."
344
00:17:15,743 --> 00:17:20,123
He basically persuaded me
to take a sabbatical off work,
345
00:17:20,122 --> 00:17:22,462
do a masters in sustainability,
and now I work in sustainability.
346
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:23,378
What, what?
347
00:17:24,835 --> 00:17:26,295

- [Cherry] Yeah.

to playing anywhere when I was younger,

00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:52,589
I could walk onstage with real confidence

of being like,
"I know I can entertain you."
379
00:18:54,508 --> 00:18:56,758
- [emcee] Okay...
- [Sheeran] But it comes from, like,

years of getting your confidence battered,
I think.

if when I was playing, like,

it felt like a sort of secret in the city.

super paranoid wherever I went that, like,

would tweet out "he's at this place,"
446

And Cherry made me a lot better with it.

they're like, "Basically,
date night goes out the window."

And it's just--
I find, like, when you become parents,
455
00:22:44,321 --> 00:22:46,951
you just basically just become parents
456
00:22:46,948 --> 00:22:50,448
and you forget that you actually were
in love and in a relationship before
457
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:53,872
and, like, had fun
and just fancying each other, you know?

00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:32,595
Well, this is the point.
489
00:24:32,596 --> 00:24:35,886
You're sort of-- not sure where you are
at the moment with your...
490
00:24:35,891 --> 00:24:37,351
[both laugh]
491
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:44,226
I feel like this is a better reflection
of my head right now.
492
00:24:44,232 --> 00:24:45,652
- Chez.
- Huh?
493
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:47,280
- A better reflection.
- [Cherry] This is it!
494
00:24:47,277 --> 00:24:52,777
If you can, like, distill Ed's brain
onto a canvas, like...
495
00:24:52,782 --> 00:24:54,452
[laughs] ...that is it.
496
00:24:54,451 --> 00:24:56,411
But, like, there is so much
going on in there.
497
00:24:56,411 --> 00:24:57,951
You should tell-- Well, cut this bit out.
498
00:24:57,954 --> 00:25:00,124
But tell Souts why you actually
wanted to do the documentary
499
00:25:00,123 --> 00:25:01,963
- 'cause you were explaining--
- It's so deep though.
500
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:04,168
We were having such a heart-to-heart.
501
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:07,709
Um. It's stupid, like, it's--
Yeah, it's wild.
502
00:25:07,714 --> 00:25:10,224
Um, but I was saying to Ed, so I...
503
00:25:11,301 --> 00:25:13,141
Long story short, super **** shit,
504
00:25:13,136 --> 00:25:16,636
got diagnosed with cancer at the start of
the year, which was a massive shitter.
505
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:20,520
Um, but it made me--
506
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,599
You're so all super silent now.
507
00:25:23,104 --> 00:25:28,534
It made me massively reflect on, like,
our mortality.
508
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:32,197
Like, we're all completely, like,
uh, human or whatever.
509
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:35,277
And, um-- But I was saying to Ed,
510
00:25:35,283 --> 00:25:39,703
it's like I would never have agreed to do
anything like this ever, ever, ever.
511
00:25:39,704 --> 00:25:42,714
Um, but it made me think--
Like, this whole year,
512
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:49,087
I've been thinking, like, "Oh, if I died,
what's people's perception of me?"
513
00:25:49,089 --> 00:25:51,839
Like, what do you leave behind?
514
00:25:51,841 --> 00:25:56,931
And I think for Ed, he-- Like,
the whole point is that he's trying to...
515
00:25:57,597 --> 00:26:00,427
He wants to say to people,
"I'm not just this music machine.
516
00:26:00,433 --> 00:26:05,403
Like, I'm not just this, like, robot that,
like, tries to get number one.
517
00:26:05,397 --> 00:26:10,777
Like, I'm a father, I'm a son,
I'm a friend, I'm a husband."
518
00:26:10,777 --> 00:26:13,907
And I've massively reflected on just--
519
00:26:13,905 --> 00:26:15,775
It genuinely wasn't until this year
520
00:26:15,782 --> 00:26:17,782
when I was just like,
"I might die this year."
521
00:26:17,784 --> 00:26:18,874
Or, like... [stammers]
522
00:26:18,868 --> 00:26:21,198
[Sheeran]
Chez, you don't, like, you don't--
523
00:26:21,204 --> 00:26:23,964
Like, you've said that twice now
where it's like, "Oh, it's all good."
524
00:26:23,957 --> 00:26:27,457
- But, like, you don't have to pretend...
- It was super gnarly. It was horrible.
525
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:29,550
But-- But when you have that...
526
00:26:30,046 --> 00:26:33,676
I know, but, like, but you're saying it
for the cameras like... [vocalizes]
527
00:26:33,675 --> 00:26:36,425
You said, like,
"Got diagnosed with cancer. No biggie."
528
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:37,548
- Like...
- [Cherry laughs]
529
00:26:37,554 --> 00:26:39,434
- ...**** hell, man.
- You're gonna make me cry.
530
00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:44,595
But, like, you're definitely
just playing it down, but it was horrible.
531
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:46,023
Yeah, it was gnarly.
532
00:26:50,525 --> 00:26:51,525
Crying man.
533
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:57,366
No, don't, 'cause I--
I don't really wanna think about it.
534
00:26:57,949 --> 00:26:59,449
What do you think of my brain though?
535
00:27:00,201 --> 00:27:01,621
It is so...
536
00:27:02,162 --> 00:27:04,462
It's what I have to deal with
on a daily basis.
537
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:06,206
Like, "Wake up." [imitates Sheeran]
538
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:07,287
Oh, man. I know.
539
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:08,382
Yeah, it's a lot.
540
00:27:08,877 --> 00:27:14,587
Chez, that-- that--
that is being hung in the TV room.
541
00:27:29,022 --> 00:27:34,442
{\an8}At the start of February, um, we had the--
the diagnosis of the tumor.
542
00:27:34,444 --> 00:27:37,864
And the day after,
Ed went down into the basement
543
00:27:37,864 --> 00:27:42,794
and wrote seven songs in, like,
what, four hours, maybe it was?
544
00:27:42,786 --> 00:27:46,156
Yeah, it was like Ed's--
I guess his way of, um...
545
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:50,957
You know, everyone-- Well, not everyone,
but people write a diary,
546
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,300
like, and get their emotions out
through their-- through the pen.
547
00:27:54,297 --> 00:27:57,757
And for Ed, it's if something
really intense happens to him,
548
00:27:57,759 --> 00:27:58,839
he will go and write songs.
549
00:27:58,843 --> 00:28:00,553
I'm gonna have to remember the words now.
550
00:28:00,553 --> 00:28:01,893
But this is-- This is one of them.
551
00:28:01,888 --> 00:28:02,968

- That was great.
- Thanks.
571
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:13,955
That's a song I wrote in February.
572
00:29:14,502 --> 00:29:17,632
Uh, Cherry had gone
to have her lump taken out,
573
00:29:17,630 --> 00:29:22,840
and I kept saying to you
that it was just a lump and not to worry.
574
00:29:23,553 --> 00:29:26,433
And that it was all good.
And then I was rehearsing,
575
00:29:26,431 --> 00:29:29,731
I remember getting a call from Chez
being like, "Yeah, it's not--"
576
00:29:29,726 --> 00:29:32,686
"Cancel all the plans! I've got cancer."
577
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:36,436
- [Sheeran] Yeah. Fun.
- [imitates scream]
578
00:29:36,441 --> 00:29:41,361
The doctor was basically like,
"This is really bad."
579
00:29:41,362 --> 00:29:43,362
We were like, "Oh, okay."
580
00:29:43,364 --> 00:29:45,664
He was like, "But we're not gonna have
results back for a month."
581
00:29:45,658 --> 00:29:48,788
So we just sort of wandered
around London for the day.
582
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:52,497
What happens is
you kind of have the initial report, um,
583
00:29:52,499 --> 00:29:55,459
and then they look at treatment plans,
and how you're gonna manage it.
584
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:57,960
But then there were no treatment plans
that worked with a six month...
585
00:29:57,962 --> 00:29:59,882
- With the pregnancy.
- ...pregnant-- Yeah.
586
00:29:59,881 --> 00:30:01,421
So then you have a couple of weeks,
587
00:30:01,424 --> 00:30:04,554
like, going through that with, um,
surgeons and oncologists and stuff.
588
00:30:04,552 --> 00:30:09,772
And then we had sequencing of the--
of the tumor,
589
00:30:09,766 --> 00:30:15,226
and that came back, like, much less severe
than they thought it was originally,
590
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:17,820
which was, like, the most incredible news.
591
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:21,776
Like... [stammers] Like, I nearly threw up
when, like, the-- the surgeon told us
592
00:30:22,362 --> 00:30:24,862
we could wait till the end of
the pregnancy to get the tumor out,
593
00:30:24,864 --> 00:30:27,534
um, we didn't have to worry about
delivering the baby early.
594
00:30:28,034 --> 00:30:31,204
Um, so we got that news,
and then the day after, Jamal died.
595
00:30:31,788 --> 00:30:34,998
And it was just, like, a really bad time.
596
00:30:37,961 --> 00:30:40,091
[no audible dialogue]
597
00:30:40,964 --> 00:30:42,094
Remember?
598
00:30:42,924 --> 00:30:44,184
- Yeah, it wasn't great.
- It was like...
599
00:30:45,802 --> 00:30:47,102
It was bad.
600
00:30:47,095 --> 00:30:50,925
Yeah, it was, like,
a, uh, difficult, difficult time.
601
00:30:52,809 --> 00:30:53,809
[Cherry] And then...
602
00:30:54,894 --> 00:30:57,564
- The court case.
- The court case came in a week later.
603
00:30:57,564 --> 00:31:00,404
Which actually, oddly paled in comparison.
By the time the court case came,
604
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,240
I was just kind of, "This is actually
nothing compared to what's going on."
605
00:31:03,236 --> 00:31:05,026
Nah. The most important thing is, like...
606
00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:07,619
- Yeah.
- ...health and life.
607
00:31:07,615 --> 00:31:10,325
I don't think I'll ever get to February
and be like, "This is a great month."
608
00:31:10,326 --> 00:31:13,196
I'd think, like, it-- That was a horrible,
horrible, horrible month.
609
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:16,332
Life hasn't moved on for me yet,
and I don't actually think it will.
610
00:31:16,332 --> 00:31:17,752
I don't think it's gonna be a...
611
00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:22,546
Yeah, I don't know.
612
00:31:30,763 --> 00:31:32,023
[whispers] You should say something.
613
00:31:32,015 --> 00:31:35,135
[Cherry laughing] I don't know
what to say. I knew you were gonna cry.
