I understand there will be some more "mainstream" fans of Ed that aren't familiar with SBTV and its relevance in Ed's career growth. Before Ed was the "star" he became, Jamal Edwards (founder of this channel SBTV and the series F64) pretty much gave Ed his first true immersion in front of the camera. He truly believed in Ed's talent and would put Ed into countless opportunities for no cost because he truly believed in Ed's talents (and it's not just Ed he did this for. Half of the UK's surge in the past decade could be attributed to Jamal and SBTV including the likes of Jessie J and more). He wasn't Ed's manager. He wasn't his agent. He didn't earn anything from Ed's album sales. He just gave Ed the shots he could because he truly was an aficionado of talent and great musicians and felt they deserved to be elevated if you could help them. Jamal was known to give people a shot irrespective of whether they could afford it or not. He loved music and was an anchor for many stars, both established and those that are upcoming in the British scene. If he thought you were talented/hardworking he would just give people a shot because he understood his position was to elevate the talents he came across, irrespective of whether he made any money from them or not. Just a through-and-through fan of music. He is a BIG loss for the world. An incredible shining beacon and did so much in the short time he was here. From music, to art, to inspiring primary school kids. And with this in mind, you can probably try to understand the hurt that Ed is going through. The one person who believed in you when no-one did. The one who was in your corner and would always be by your side pushing you. And you both made it through the unimaginable to become great successes... it feels like it was the moment where you start building the second chapter and become a dynasty. Begin gearing towards reaching for even more and start laying the next frontier infrastructure for music together. Neither were supposed to lose the other. That's not how the story is supposed to go! I can only imagine the huge pain and emotional heartache and burden this is for Ed, for Jamal's family, for the whole SB team.. and for the whole industry. Because I for sure will remember what Jamal's contribution was and the shining light he was. Rest in Peace Jamal Edwards.

After watching the documentary, "Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All", this is just so beautiful. Watching this feels so real. Such a massive tribute. Mad respect.

The fact Ed posted this on SBTV just shows how humble this guy is, could of done it on his own channel but gives 1 final parting gift for Jamal Edwards. RIP hopefully this revives the channel 🕊🙏

Ive heard so many stories from countless people what Jamal did for them, I remember he shared the first ever video of me singing a track which went viral years ago, It gave me a lot of self belief and will never forget that. A true legend in UK music. RIP Jamal

That quiver in Ed’s voice at the end of the song… you can tell he just put everything he has into this performance and could barely make it to the end. Such a powerful song.

Honestly, I think this is Ed’s best work. Grief can pull some of purest pieces of art out of us

No matter how many times I listen to Ed's song "F64," it makes me cry. No matter how many years pass, I remember the feelings and heartache I felt for my loved ones. Even if I move forward I can't forget it.

I’ve always rated Ed highly but this makes me respect him even more, SB helped him start his career now he’s come back to pay his respects to his friend from day. I love this mannn

Ed’s ability to turn any emotion into a masterpiece gets me every time😢

The legacy Jamal built lives on strong beautiful😇

The fact that they played this masterpiece on Croatian radio today left me speechless. When Ed sings about his life expiriences, it hits different. That's why his first albums vere so special. Love you Ed 🤍 May your friend keep you safe 🕊️

64 years of age and in tears. Lost my brother in 2000, still trying to heal. You never get over it, you learn to live with it, still working on it "Nothing will take the pain away, think about you everyday"

People don’t understand how sick this actually is Jamal’s best friend is performing at Stamford Bridge with his name in lights face on the screen. What an amazing tribute large up Ed and long live Jamal 💙UTC

Ed Sheeran is the legend who agree raise their hand ✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻

Jamal inspired me a lot when I was leaving college, watching his Google chrome ad, making me think it was possible to chase making videos, I still remember the day he saw my channel and messaged me, I could hardly afford the train ticket to London to meet him, I'm grateful for the opportunities and the self belief he gave me and many others, a legend, RIP Jamel 💙

I lost my brother two years ago. It’s like Ed wrote this song just for me. I get to see him live in 4 days. I am so excited. Thank you being you Ed. ❤

Love to see it Ed! Fly high Jamal

This is probably one of the most raw and heartfelt tributes I have ever heard. Definitely hits hard for those who saw Ed come up at a time where Jamal created a platform and more for artists that didn’t have one. I remember the days I used to convert SBTV videos into MP3 files so I can listen to them on my way to school and Bluetooth them to my mates. Ed is clearly a generational talent and has proved how versatile of an artist he really is. I know Jamal is proud and happy for your blessings Ed. Stay strong and carry on blessing the world with your art through Jamal’s legacy. Thank you for everything Jamal.

I love how even after gaining so much fame and popularity, Ed is still so humble and connected to his roots

Oh what I would give to watch the entire scene do a tribute for Jamal. Just imagine: Ed, Ghetts, Wretch 32, Stormzy, Akala, Doc Brown, Lowkey, Kano, Wiley, Big Narstie, Mic Righteous, Dave, Mysdiggi, Sway, Devlin and so many more who Jamal gave a voice to! What a fuckin line up that would be!

Never cried this hard for a song dedicated to someone I didn’t personally know

Came round full circle I’ve always had respect for Ed and this just shows he’s a genuine down to earth guy. Jamal put him on now Ed is starting hopefully what can become a good series for the channel.

The fact this was done at stamford bridge knowing Jamal was a Chelsea fan 💙

The way you can hear his voice crack when he says “my brother was SBTV”. You can tell how painful it was for him to say that line.

It's so great to see Ed back on SBTV, it's great to hear him rapping from the heart again and with such a good message, towards the end you can hear the pain in his voice when he says SBTV.. made my heart melt, ed really is one of a kind and I will never stop listening to him

Chelsea isnt a club, its a family. Once a Blue, always a Blue. RIP Jamal. I never knew you, but you were part of the family. May the most highest and divine watch over your soul. I pray you find the peace you deserve brother.

I met Jamal once back in 2012 at an event put on by Richard Branson for young people looking to get into business. The beaming smile on his face in the photo I got with him says it all - the fact he was at an event like this to help support any young people he could goes miles for demonstrating his personality and selflessness. I remember watching Ed on SBTV from the start and this song is such an incredibly powerful tribute.

I feel for Ed, and the rest of Jamal's family. SBTV really changed the music scene in England for the greater good, and we will never forget that. Long Live Jamal.

I can't even imagine how many times he had to try to record this. My heart hurts. ❤️‍🩹

The f64 to end all f64's. This is pure love ❤️

I can hear the emotion in his voice...

“It’s been a long night and i cry because i miss my brother”😪 i felt that

I never comment on videos, but after watching the Disney series and then this - wow - what a finale. Ed, you’re a once in a generation talent and this song may be your most personal and intricately lyric’d song to date. Feel the pain, and wish everyone had the vocabulary and lyrical ability to sing a tribute like this for all of their lost loved ones. You’re one of the best, keep creating, mate.

♥

Just watched this for the 1st time, didn't expect it to hit me so hard. A beautiful tribute only a true friend and brother could have done. Outstanding!

I lost my very best friend 14 years ago tragically and unexpectedly. And It never goes away. This song perfectly incapsilates the hurt pain and.empty space that will never be filled. You never get over it. There's always a space. You just adjust to it.

RIP Jamal, you brought great music to millions and gave opportunities to thousands. Your name will go down in grime, UK rap/hiphop history. Thank you Ed for a fantastic tribute to a fantastic man Fly high man we know you're looking down smiling watching over what you created

What a tribute. I'm an Australian but I've followed SBTV for years - it was the first place I ever heard Ed. I also know how football mad you lot are & can appreciate what it means for this to be filmed inside the home ground of Jamal's favourite team. Respect and love to Ed for posting this on Jamal's platform and clearly involving his family all the way through. ❤ RIP Jamal

The way he keep glimpsing over to his right at Jamal's picture. Such a beautiful touching song.

What a wonderful talent you are Ed, I felt your pain through the words. Beautiful way to honor Jamal. RIP. 💙

This is why Ed's great, this song is not a shred about any labels or charts or money, it's pure feelings through music, a beautiful dedication

No words do this justice. From a 15 Yr old finding SB to now nearly 35 it hits different, such an emotional F64. So grateful for Jamals work, he would be so fucking on it for this F64. I remember the original Ed freestyle like it was yesterday. Nostalgic as fuck. Big love to everyone x

SBTV put me onto Ed back when A team only had like 1000 views, SBTV was pivotal in this man's success

Beautiful tribute, Ed! Of course I don’t know you personally and didn’t know Jamal personally, but when Jamal passed away, I thought to myself…with Ed’s big heart, he’s going to always make sure Jamal’s family is taken care of and sure enough…you put it in this song. ❤❤❤ Ed, above everything…your talent, intelligence, good looks…you are a good person and that’s what matters most. Your talent is icing on the cake. Your character is why so many people will ALWAYS love you! I’m a fan of YOU as a person. Blessings from Atlanta, GA.

Grew up on SBTV KZfaq videos, can remember the classic Ed intros with Jamal behind the camera. Legend, R.I.P 🕊️💙

The pain in his voice ❤️‍🩹 Well done Ed. Rest Well Jemal

Substract hit me to my core. I lost my dad just a few days before Christmas 2022 and I have troubles expessing the pain I have in my heart. I’ve been watching Ed since his Chubby Bunny challenge and he’s been my go-to artist each time I was going through something in my life. Good or bad. For over a decade now. And when I needed it the most, here comes Ed with Substract. Puting his heart out and being vulnerable to the world. Really inspiring. This gig…ah. What a tribute to Jamal. You’ve done an amazing job and it is a wonderful gesture to put this song onto SBTV Channel instead of yours. Jamal is surely proud of you, Ed, and he will tell you that once you see each other again. I hope, my dad will be proud of me too, when I see him again in heaven. May all the ones we lost fly high and protect us from above. Rest in peace. 🤍

Jamal played a major role in Eds musical career. I heard visiting hours and Ed does really misses him. I'm really excited for this one.

One thing about Ed, he will ALWAYS deliver and so fitting that he's the first F64. That brotherhood between him and Jamal can't be replicated. Keep resting peacefully Jamal 💙🕊🙌🏾

Wow some raw emotion right here, it’s taken you a year to be able to put your feelings into music, Jamal gave you your first break in the music industry and became one of your best friends RIP JE ❤️

his voice breaking at the last part has me crying on the floor

Now THAT is how you bring back the iconic F64 series! Amazing tribute from Ed but I didn't expect anything less. Man, I still can't believe that he's gone. RIP Jamal

This is the best way to remember a very good friend. Ed you blessed him with this song ❤

Speaks volumes for Ed to make this tribute for Jamal and to stay with his Mom following what happened.

Lost my brother in July 2020. This song hits fucking hard. He passed from an accidental drug overdose. Thanks ed for helping me remember him.

Ed is such a legend. He was born for this. He's such a complete and highly decorated artist. He plays a huge role in all of our lives. These timeless tune will definitely be part of ou lives forever. This song is so amazing, and very emotional. Thank very much Ed for yet another offering. Please stay with us because the world needs you like we need oxygen. By the way im a huge fan from South Africa ❤❤❤❤🇿🇦

Rest in Peace Jamal 💙 One of the most selfless guys in the industry. Always had time for anyone. You will never be forgotten bro x

This makes so much more sense after watching the Sum of it All Disney series. Heavy.

He’s really spitting.. this flow & style is something he should do more. Songs fire 🔥

Never forgets where he came from and who gave him a helping hand to get to where he is today. What a legend of a man. RIP Jamal.

This is a beautiful tribute Teddy. Jamal has to be so proud of all you’ve accomplished 💙

I became a fan of Ed 12 years ago because of SBTV.

This is beautiful. Raw and real emotion. Ed is humble and true to his roots and speaks for us all when he describes the hole Jamal has left. True pioneer. SBTV set the levels from early. RIP SB x

Got me tearing up at work on my lunch break. Beautiful tribute. Condolences to you, Ed Sheeran. It really is tough losing a loved one. 😢💜

Your music helped me get out of a very deep, anxiety laced, depression. Keep giving us ALL the musical therapy we can handle. Keep inspiring us to be we by you just being you. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏

This was perfect. What an amazing tribute. Ed is such a legend and unlike many artists who lose touch with their roots and the people that helped them. Jamal Edwards was a pioneer for UK music. RIP.

2 years today 💙🕊️ rest up Jam 🌟💫

We all questioned why we'd heard no tribute songs. This was it. This is all that was ever needed and more. Goosebumps. Rest in eternal power Jamal 💔

Goosebumps. The old intro, then them pianos come in… his name in the stands… RIP JAMAL.

I remember meeting Jamal one night in the smoking area of a club in Vauxhall. He was incredibly humble with a very welcoming energy, even though at that time he had been the major driving force behind the progression of the UK music scene. I still have the picture we took together on my phone, and will keep it with me forever. He was one of a kind, and influenced so many lives for the better. RIP Jamal, your legacy will continue to live on ❤🌠

What a hard track to listen to. Ed, such an amazing tribute to Jamal 💔

Visting Hours brings tears to my eyes. ED certainly can write about REAL PAIN ❤

I hope this song, along with the 2 Ed dedicated to Jamal on his record Subtract helped Ed to process the loss of his best friend Jamal. May the beacon of light Jamal brought to the world never fade, even in his absence.

Ed is still 100% true to the core, even after all his success 😍🙏

Every time Ed does one of these, he absolutely knocks it out of the park. We love you, Ed!! 💛

First time I stumbled across ed was on sbtv - this is proper full circle man!

jesus ed im a 51 year old guy i lost my best friend back in my 20's like you and jamal we were brothers this track realy does hit the heart and says everything i could never say i realy do feel your pain chin up my friend the pain never goes away but it does get easyer

Big up Ed he’s not materialistic and remembers how it all began good on em both

This broke my heart. He is a legend. He had a massive impact in bare artists come up

Omg Ed still got it bruh. This reminds me when discoverd him. The GOAT

I met Jamal at a Mac Miller show in Oxford like 10 years ago, was super friendly and just out in the crowd having fun. So sad that both have now passed! Ed this is brilliant.

Hits hard if you watched Ed’s come up back in the day on sbtv, fly high Jamal 💯

That "oof fcking hell" at the end 💔

You can hear the pain in his voice! Inspiration! One day to hope play a song with you Ed ❤️

Ed makes his best music in his emotions, this tribute to Jamal is so much ❤️

Oh, this broke my heart. Are you ok Ed? ❤ Such a beautiful tribute. I'm sorry for your loss. Wish I could hug you. Love you.

Never forget where you come from or the people that's helped along the way, jamal would be proud 🙌

I lost one of my best friends recently in a bike accident and this song really hits home. Incredible song ❤

I can't believe F64 is back after so long, and what a way to honour Jamal 🕊️, big up Ed

That was beautiful Ed. I am sure Jamal would be proud😢🙏🏾💙

Heartbreaking. Jamal was so positive, just lifting and loving all he crossed paths with. Beautiful. If not for Jamal’s strength and support, there might not be an Ed Sheeran, world star.

Ed Sheeran is the best artist for our Generation. Been at 2 concerts in germany and cant wait to be at another one 🎉

Can't wait 🥺💙

All the drill rappers talking about being real this is real! Real emotion and real talent! Ed sheeran a real uk icon

This song is exactly what I needed to hear. I can relate my brother passed last year. The best song Ed sheeran has ever made. I can feel it all through this song. I’m sorry your hurting Ed

This song hits home my brother died Christmas day 2020 age 33 we was closer then anyone could imagine 😔

Heartbreaking, a very sad touching song to a dear friend…that’s what you call heartfelt lyrics

Absolute fire. So raw nobody does it like ed. jamal was one in a million. This video needs to blow up and get its recognition

He lost a soul mate. You can hear his desperation to see his friend again but knows he never will. Death is so final. I realized this when i lost my dad. My first real loss. I hope you find peace as time goes on. God bless❤
