“Love”

Ed Sheeran explains the unwavering work ethic that has propelled him to global success. In exclusive footage of his teenage years, Ed describes how he planned his unlikely success. When he was ignored by the music industry, he began playing under unexpected conditions until this determination brought him into contact with media entrepreneur Jamal Edwards in 2010. Together they used the evolving Internet to find their audience. The A-Team is breaking America, but Ed was still missing something. Ed tells the story of his iconic love song “Perfect” about his old high school girlfriend and now wife Cherry, which tells the story of their romantic love story. Ed seems to have it all until Cherry hears life-changing news and Ed quickly realizes that plans can change in an instant and he will have to adjust.

“A loss”

Ed, his parents and wife Cherry look at old photographs of Ed and explain why he chose to return to his hometown in England.

Grieving the loss of Jamal, Ed continues at the same pace, filming 14 music videos for his new album, and his childhood dream comes true when he performs with Eminem at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Cherry worries he might use the work as a distraction. In an intimate performance, Ed shares songs from Subtract publicly for the first time, but is overwhelmed when emotions get the better of him.
