Ed Sheeran has revealed he has no intention of checking out his new docuseries, as the thought of watching it makes him “uncomfortable”.The ‘Shape Of You’ singer explained how he felt about watching The Sum Of It All in a new interview, and admitted that the thought of sitting down to view any of it himself left him feeling uneasy.“It’s uncomfortable for me to watch, I haven’t really like sat down and binged it,” he told Extra (via MSN), later adding: “I hope other people find it more entertaining than I do.”He also proceeded to explain that he was caught off-guard by the style of the show, and wasn’t expecting it to centre so heavily on his emotional state. “I didn’t actually really realise that they were making a documentary on grief and mental health, I thought we were making a documentary on my album,” he explained.“And then I saw [the final product] and I was like, ‘Oh, OK.

Cool.’”Available now on Disney+, The Sum Of It All is a four-part series which provides insight into the singer’s life during the writing of his most recent album, ‘-’ (‘Subtract’).

It also explores the highs and lows Sheeran was experiencing at the time of the record’s construction – including his feelings of grief and depression.Part one explores Sheeran’s relationship with his wife Cherry Seaborn, who was diagnosed with cancer at the start of 2022.

The day after receiving the news that Seaborn’s tumour wasn’t as serious as they first thought, Sheeran’s best friend Jamal Edwards died.‘-‘ was released earlier this month and has already been certified as the fastest-selling album of 2023.
