Does Ed Sheeran have a documentary? The Sum Of It All and how to stream
A special four-part series will give fans a more personal insight into the singer-songwriter's life than ever before
Ed Sheeran has a busy summer ahead, with the release of his new album Subtract and a new show, fans are asking does Ed Sheeran have a documentary?
The Thinking Out Loud hitmaker recently revealed his personal heartache over wife Cherry Seaborn's tumour which she developed during the pregnancy of their second daughter.
But following Ed Sheeran's April 2022 court ruling, he's back to doing what he does best, making music and aside from him replacing Katy Perry and Lionel Richie as guest judge on American Idol, there's something very different in store for fans as we look at all you need to know...
Does Ed Sheeran have a documentary?
Yes, Ed Sheeran has announced that he is releasing a new four-part documentary The Sum Of It All, that focuses on his new album and also gives fans more of an insight into his personal life. The singer-songwriter made the announcement on his Instagram telling fans, "I’ve always been guarded of my personal life; the only documentary I’ve ever made has been one that focused on my songwriting. Disney approached me to make a four-part documentary on the making of my next album Subtract."
However, it is different from Ed's pervious documentaries. He explained, "Initially the documentary was just that, a documentary on the formation of an album. But, as my life took a few twists and turns, the subject matter of the album changed, and so did the documentary. It became something completely different to what I thought it would be."
He admitted how he wanted to provide context to the upcoming album because it touches on some "very personal things" including the death of his dear friend Jamal Edwards who died.
He added, "I knew if I made a documentary, I would want to put my trust in the hands of the director, so it wouldn’t be sculpted by me, and was actually an accurate reflection of who I am, even if it’s uncomfortable to watch."
