Speaker 1 (00:00):
Interview lounge. What a heavy day, What a great day
to be us, What a great day to be Ed Sharon. Yeah,
Ed Sharon is going to walk in a second. I
was just talking to him down the hall. I said, Hey,
we're gonna go on. You come in when you want,
but I'm gonna start answering your questions without you.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Damn.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
He's in a great mood today, so many reasons to celebrate.
We're gonna talk about that with Ed in a moment.
We're gonna meander through the album. We're gonna talk about
the tour, We're gonna talk about the the Disney Plus
documentary of the sum of it All. We've got to
talk about just anything Ed wants to talk about. Ed.
Ed doesn't know his way around the studio. You've never
been in the studio before.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
We've gone to the wrong place. We sat outside being
like I swear, he's usually in downtown. Heyah, how are
you guys?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
They moved us up. Well, we don't know where we are,
but we're doing well. It's so cool, man. So me
has to say, first of all, thanks for being here.
Of course.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I actually I fell asleep at like eight pm yesterday.
He was such a like adrenaline come down. So I
just was like, I need to go to bed, and yeah,
so I've been up.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
For a while. Good good coffee. You need coffee, You
need a caffeination. We also have some tequila. You want
some tequila? Do you need something?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I actually I stopped drinking Spirits a few years ago,
so I'm not I'm beer and wine now, but yeah,
spirits send me a bit.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
West West West is a great place. Look, you did
have a day yesterday. I had it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well, yeah, I had eight years of that eight years,
so yesterday was a real like But I kind of
feel I thought it was going to end last week
and this week would be like the album week. So
I feel like it's overshadowed the record a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's not. And I corrected him. He actually said, I'm
afraid this court case has overshadowed my album, And I'm like,
not on this end, Yeah, it hasn't here, not at all.
We knew what you were doing. By the way, that
courthouse two blocks from my apartment. For sure. All the
weird stuff that happens in New York happens next to
my apartment.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Do you know that one thing I would love to
say because I know that, you know, people are curious
about one. But the one thing that felt like the
biggest win for me was afterwards, Katherine Griffin Townsend and
her family and everyone came up to me, hugged me,
said we believe you. And you know, I got to
walk away being feeling good because it's never a nice
(02:18):
thing like winning and someone else losing, But like walking
away from it knowing that I did the right thing
and that they believed me was I think the biggest win.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And you know what, this wasn't like winning a gold
medal at the Olympics. This wasn't like winning a Grammy.
There was there was There was not a lot of
winning going on.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No, I mean, you know, like on both sides, it
takes a massive toll, like both like personally and financially,
But it's just about It's about heart and integrity. And
that's why I thought it was I can't be accused
of something that I didn't do, so I just had
to had to prove that.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But yeah, you know what ed strength, It's called strength
and courage. You know what an outsider looking in you
met a beautiful woman, made her your wife. She made
you her husband. You went through a cant scare journey.
You have beautiful children, You have this incredible ability to
write incredible music that resonates with people. You actually went
(03:17):
into a courtroom and taught people what a chord is
and how chord progression works and what notes mean. You
you can handle a lot more. And my point is
all of us we can handle a lot more than
we're just we're dished. Yeah, and so congratulations to that.
Today is a new beginning. We have an album we're celebrating,
(03:39):
We've got a tour, and it's weird. This is the
first time I've released an album and like critics like
it too. He said, I'm like that could be bad.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Well yeah, I was like, yeah no, But I mean,
you know, like I said when I was releasing this,
this this album, because it is a very different album
for me to release.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You know, there's not really like.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I'm usually I would have pop so on it, and
I would have certain things that I know would go
down well a live shows or whatever. But this album
I feel like I had to make. I didn't necessarily
have to release it, but I had to make it.
And I feel after playing it to people that were
close to me and seeing their reaction that made me
feel like I needed to put it into the world.
(04:18):
But yeah, it's just it's a it's a different feeling,
like I'm looking at what people feel about it rather
than like, you know, I think that's more important to
how an album's received rather than stats, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And it's true. And I was telling Danielle and Gandhi
this earlier and I'll see it again. The song of
it all on Disney plus the four part documentary, which
is brilliant, it's for me. It was sort of an
instruction manual on how to listen to the album.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, well, I mean that's why the album was meant
to come out on March twenty fourth, and we pushed
it back for I didn't know when this Disney documentary
was going to come. But I very much see the
two things as coming hand in hand there, you know,
the documentary goes with the album, and the album goes
with the documentary. Yeah, and that was kind of like,
because the last thing I want to do is bring
(05:06):
more attention onto my personal life. But I felt that
opening up that door gave more context to the record.
But yeah, it's weird, like filming. It's weird just having
cameras everywhere the whole time. I'm not a reality star,
I'm a musician. I don't think that it's normal sort
of putting all that stuff out there.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
To me, it was different because I know you're a
very private person and we never even met Cherry like
like the way we met her. Now we want to
hang with her. Happy birthday tomorrow, by the way, but like,
what made you decide that let's do this, let's bring
these cameras in here?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, I mean chairs sort of like touches on it
in the documentary, and we were sort of We've talked
about this a lot of whether we can close the
door after we've sort of you know, opened it a
little bit. But you know, she's always been a private person.
She's never had a public Instagram, she's never done a
red carpet with me. We've always been like super private
up private life is our private life. And I think
it was uh, I mean, and this is how I
(06:05):
got my parents to be in it as well.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Is like.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
When you losing Jamal was was one of these things
that will just it will always like live with me.
And I think the thing that's comforted me about me
and Jamal. Has been pictures and footage and documentation of
our relationship over the time that we knew each other.
And I think that for my kids to look back
(06:31):
in forty years and be able to see their parents
in love going through life for their grandparents, I think
there's some there's there's something in that.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I think absolutely, And I mean she is very private.
We haven't heard a lot from her. How is she
doing with all of this new attention.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Uh, she's trying to just trying to lock it out
and ignore it. I think, Yeah, I think that, I
think and everyone kind of respects that. I think the
door is closed again now because when you know she's
not she's not someone that you're suddenly going to see,
you know, pop up on a panel show here and
doing this and doing that. So yeah, it's very much
within the context of the record. The documentary makes sense
(07:06):
and I'm really happy that people are connecting with it.
And the thing that I love about it as well
is no one's listening to the record or watching the
documentary and getting sad. What I didn't want is like
sad pop Star does sad documentary and sad album. What
I wanted was to do a sort of like snapshot
of grief and depression and have people connect it to
their own feelings. And you know, the people that made
(07:28):
the documentary for me, but two of them lost their
mothers whilst we were doing the documentary and they found
the process cathartic by making it and watching it, and yeah,
I think it's yeah, it's good, it's good.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Just sent me a text she said, please stop talking
about me.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
See that's what happened to me. I was telling Elvis.
I was listening to the album on the way in
this morning, and I lost my dad a couple of
years ago. My son's getting ready to leave for colleges,
actually college in the UK.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Where's he going.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Ah, he's going to lead Beckett Cool.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah he's gonna have fun though.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah he's playing soccer, so he's very excited. But I
listen to Life Goes On. I listened to and I
was bawling.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Watch the car, Watch watch this, Watch Watch Daniel. If
you leave me, she's crying, Oh the storme, You're killing me.
You're this is what Ed wants to do. His message
is hitting, It's hitting. Hold.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Everybody's going to have a different message. From it because
they've all gone through different things and I think that
is just so beautiful that it's going to resonate with
So I'm going to very different people, thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, No, it's weird. It's it's different. It's just different
territory for me as an artist. But you know, I
feel like I'm a big, big Bruce Springsteen fan.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And you know, his.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Biggest record is Born in the USA, But my favorite
record of his is Nebraska, and that is not necessarily
his most commercially successful album at all, but for me,
it's his most important record. And I do feel like
this album for me, just as just as a human being,
this one album to me is really important, so I
hope it is to other people.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It is, And it's the story. It's really not about you,
it's about us. And I say it's it's partially about
us because it's so relatable. In the documentary, after the
second episode and they're rolling credit, they play a piece
of no strings, No strings. Yeah you can you hear it?
I know your headphones, you can't hear it. Turning your
(09:27):
knobs down there, if you know what I'm saying. I
heard this after watching your story. I was just gonna
play it. This is what we heard.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
If we make it do this year, we should celebate.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I started thinking about what you and your wife and
we did, you know, listen, jamal the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
When it got to New Year's twenty twenty two, going
into twenty twenty three, we did, you know, raise a
glass of champagne and was like, yeah, I just think
life is it always stars kurples at you, and no
year is without curve balls. There's always something like this year,
for instance, being in what I've been in for the
last two weeks, my grandmother passing away last last last week.
There are things that there are curved balls that are
(10:09):
thrown in. But life is about, you know, having a
bad day and realizing that day ends at midnight and
the next day could be even worse or it could
be even better, but each day ends. I have a
rule of forty eight hours that if something is blown
up and I'm feeling out my lowest, I'm like, make
a decision on something in forty eight hours and just
let it blow over.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And it always does. It always does. Remember this day,
May fifth, twenty twenty three. So I was so I
heard that I watched the show, and I'm thinking, damn,
my husband Alex got cancer, particular cancer and it spread
up to his lymph nodes. You know, we went through that.
We lost our best friend as well, just like you
lost Jamal. I'm like, this is what this album and
(10:49):
what any artist can do in connecting is being relatable,
because yeah, we're all going through these things and you
so beautifully showcase it.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I think this is my point with the documentary and
with the album, Like, at no point am I saying
poor me, I'm going through these things. I'm saying we're
all going through it, like, and you never know what
someone's going through, Like I I at the point that
it was all happening. Last year, I was in that
I had a similar court case in the UK and
I was sat there in court and the other side
(11:18):
were just going at me, battering me, saying all these
like really horrible things and also saying, oh, we've got
this going on in our life and this is why
it's And in my head I was like, they don't
they just assume that everything is fine and that like
because someone's wealthy that solves all the problems. And I
wanted to kind of say, like money doesn't buy back
your dead friend. And money doesn't just kick like Steve
(11:40):
Jobs passed away from cancer and he was the richest
man on earth. It doesn't just fix those things. And
it's things like that that we all go through. Everyone
goes through grief, Everyone goes through you know, sickness things.
Everyone goes through moments where they really feel low and
they can't explain why they feel low. And I just
think it's it's important to always be kind to people
(12:01):
because you never ever know what they're going through.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
How thrilling is it to go through all you have
been through with your wife and with your best friend leaving,
and you lose an ounce or two of innocence and
you become an adult. You become you have to adult now.
But the thrill is you have of this family. Yeah,
(12:23):
if you protect in your circle, you have these kids
that you are protecting from all of these things for now,
so they can grow up and be happy and laugh
and make messes and paint with their fingers and piss
you off.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
That's the wonderful thing about children. You know, the week
that Jamal passed away and it was you know, Cherry
was going through all that health stuff as well is
I would be coming back from Jamal's mum's house at
like two o'clock in the morning, crying myself to sleep,
waking up at six am with my daughter who's blissfully
unaware of everything, this kind of beautiful girl coming in
(12:58):
and being like, let's have breakfast and let's listen to music.
And that, for me is what's wonderful about kids is like,
it's not that they don't care what's going on, but
they're so blissfully unaware that life is just let's have
fun and let's live in this moment. And I think
it's really important when you're going through times of hardship
to have, you know, that sort of innocent fun.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Well you still do it, I mean, Diane, Oh yeah,
I'll just leave that right there.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So that was that was a friend of mine brought
me a box of wigs for my birthday once and yeah,
I have a I have an alter ego.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Who's your ego?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You are your own?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
How do we get an invite to this?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Your bar?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I mean that is just the coolest place.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
To edge pub. I love it.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You know, you used to get used a lot more
pre COVID. I used to like the party that was
in the documentary on on Disney was like the first
time I'd had more than like three people in there
since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
But it used to be yeah, pretty rocking. Yeah there
you go ed Sheerings here if you haven't figured that out.
And we had two rules. We were not going to
dwell on the core case and the other rule was
we're not going to.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Ask about the six foot marble penis that you promised
you were going to send Elvis and we have a gun.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yet I'm not going to bring that up.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Well, there there was a bit of dramas with the
guys making the penis back in the UK, So I
know I can't.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I can't go into it. I can't go into it.
I don't want to hear your lame excuses about my
six foot penis. You know. I'm glad you.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I'm glad you reminded me though, because I know because
I'm I'm now I'm on tour.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
In the States for the next six months, so I
can find a penis. You do you have nothing else
going on except a family and in a tour and
an album. Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I've sort of like my whole world has been sort
of encapsulated by court case, documentary, an album, and the
tour starts on Saturday. But when it starts, it's going
to be like, oh, oh, there's help the things to
do now, I'm really excited.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Good, you know what that this tour is a great
toy to play with. So yeah, you're going to have
so much fun.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
You know, I haven't been here in five years doing
show shows, and I'm doing I'm basically subtract as an album.
I'm going to be playing in full night the night
before most of the big shows, in a small theater
in the town, So I'm going to basically be able
to play to like two thousand people and then eight
thousand people in two thousand pop.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's going to be It's gonna be really fun. I
wish I could just go through a scene by scene
by seeing everything that's in the summer it all on
Disney Plus, but I'm not. I want everyone to watch it.
But there are so many touching, touching scenes.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Of the relationship between you and your wife is just beautiful,
and obviously you already know that, but it's so nice
to see it from the outside. It just seems so
genuine and fulfilling and happy, and I'm like, couples goals.
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
It was definitely, do you know.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I think the interesting thing about the documentary was that
when the guys came to me to make it, they
were like, we don't want you involved whatsoever. We don't
want you executive producing it, we don't want you being
on the edit. They're like, we don't want to make
a promo package for you, because most documentaries are like,
I'm making the album. Here's the album, and that's originally
what I thought we were going to do, just an
album to promote subtracts, and they were like, the music
(16:07):
is secondary, like you as a person is what people
want to see. So all of the things in it,
I feel uncomfortable watching it because some of it depicts,
you know, I'm a bit of a workaholic, and it
depicts me working away a lot, and that for me
is uncomfortable. But that is also reality and truth, and
I just think they did a really really good job
of it, and it didn't feel like propaganda. It felt
(16:29):
like an actual snapshot.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It makes all the sense. When you see it, you'll
totally get it. Did you bring a guitar with you
by chair. Yeah, okay, okay, I'm just asking, well, I
don't know why I to hear about Hey, Tom Pulman,
the president of I heard something I don't know. Tom
is here, they're hugging. Tom has a box with him.
You need to be on a microphone because, as you know,
in radio, they need the hearers. No, that's not working.
(16:54):
You can't use it the way. This is a big award. Cool.
You know, we've been heavy Shivers for a long time
on the radio stations. We've now reached the one billion mark,
and so this is an award. Oh my gosh, look
(17:17):
at that. What is that? What is this award? One billion?
iHeartRadio audience spins? Congratulations? A billion spins.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Is really really really cool, really cool. You know, I
just found out that Shivers is a it's a line
dancing anthem. Now people do live dances to Shivers. I
want to see this, and I think we should learn
the dance.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I think we should have. Well, that's so kind of congratulations.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You always wonder every album, every album, you always wonder
whether like you're going to lose the kids, you know,
because like kids. I constantly have young people coming to
my gigs and with shivers.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
All these kids keep coming up to me and they're like,
we like shivers and wow, okay still got still insurance
eighty two? Doing a residency in Las Vegas. Yeah, I
don't think I'd ever do that, you know yet, you
the money?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You love to do a residency in like like my
hometown is like no one ever goes there, and I'd
love to do a residency there and actually have people
traveling to you go to it.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You can do that. You can be Are you familiar
with Bramson Missouri? You could turn it into the Branson
of them?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Ok why not you being in your little town square
doing the concert and then giving that little boy spoiler
spoiler learning he gives the boy a guitar.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
About about that, It's like none of none of that
was set up. It was like I was playing this
guitar and I just saw this kid had turned up
with his mum after a guitar lesson, and I was
like this is too good to be true. I was like,
did you just come from a guitar lesson? He's like yeah,
I was. I was just like, well, do you want
my guitar? And I think I think we're going to
be hearing from in the future though, I think, yeah,
I think he's going to be something.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You totally changed the trajectory of their kids life.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah, yeah, well that that's what happened to me. When
I was eleven, meeting Damien Rice made me want to
be a singer songwriter and it was like twenty seconds
of his time, but it's now been an entire lifetime
and career for me. So doing that, you know, showing
kids because I'm I'm I'm also I'm not I'm not
from like a really gifted like me and my brother
(19:21):
like learned to play music, but we were never like
amazing at music from the start. We like learned and learn, learn,
And it's saying to kids like, you can do this too,
I am I was just like you. I couldn't sing,
I couldn't play guitar, I couldn't perform, and I learned
how to do it just by practice and hard work.
And yeah, I think it's I think it's good to
show kids that because also, like music is a great job,
(19:44):
and when I was younger, it wasn't seen as a job.
It was like, well, you know, go and get a
real job, but you should always do what you enjoy.
I'm sure when you said to people I'm going to
work in radio, they were like, yeah, but go and
get a real job as well.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
And now look you're Elvis.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Word for word. That's what my dad said to me.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, sitting here with you right now, and you're about
to do a song for us and a couple of yea. Yeah,
this is not a real job. And we've got puppy.
We've got puppies on the way.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Not a real job.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We got puppies.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So showing them that school is cool because you know
you're talking about maths and everything.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, vision and.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Plus I like that you said maths. Yeah, you know
that's why I called the tool of the mathematics tool?
Is that of the math tool.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna get some
puppies to get a guitar in here. I don't know
where this is going. This is we're gonna dangerous, but
it's someone with this. It's almost as heavy as a
six foot tall marble pizness. Now, I'm now I'm here
and clear headed. I'm I'm I'm on it. I'm on it.
Remember this date and we're gonna take a break. Remember
this date May twenty three. It's okay before we break.
(20:47):
What are the four chapters of the documentary? You remember
the names of the Love Loss, Focus Release, and now
we're working on the fifth? What is what is this
new one called? Think about It? I'll get your answer
in a minute, and sure and performing for you coming
tastes so good? Make wrong man cry strain in the
Morning Show. What a day? What a day to start
(21:09):
a new a fresh springtime. I don't know what can
you say? It's single the it's May fifth, it's a
new chapter four ed Sharan. So we were talking a
second ago about the documentary on Disney Plus called The
Sum of It All and it was in four parts,
and again remind us of the four parts they were
(21:29):
called Love Loss, Focus Release. Until now with the new
beginning today, what are we calling this one?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I think thirties, you know, live live your thirties. I
think that's what I'm really enjoying about. Your twenties are
basically figuring out everything and messing up a lot, and
thirties are you know, you're obviously like heavier life. Stuff
starts happening just because you're getting older, and that's what happens.
But I feel like you've figured out most of the
things by thirty, and then when you get to forty
(21:57):
you figured out even more.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So then it's even more fun to your aide, you
know everything.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I feel like your twenties are so ghetto and amazing.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, you know it's you. Don't you realize that actually
nights in a way better than nights out. And I

Okaygrats for your football team getting up promoted.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
We're back on television.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
You guys don't have it in America, like if an
NFL team does badly, they just get more money, whereas
like in England, if a team does badly, they get
put into the league below, and then the league below
and then the league below. And yeah, my team's been
in League One, which is the third division, for the
last four years, and now we're promoted.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Enough going on for you right now? Do you know?
This week's been a busy one.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
This week's like I was sort of looking at the
start of this week and I was like, I can't
wait for this one's be over.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But yeah, well, oh it's not over. You have to
work today, tomorrow and Sunday. I'd pop up at one
on five Worster Street.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
But this is this is fun, Like actually I didn't
get this on equals because I caught COVID like the
day before the album came out, so the week that
the album came out, I didn't see anyone connecting with
the record because I wasn't out and about. So I'm
actually excited to be out and about see people, see
what they think of it. And yeah, if you want
to come to what's the street today at downtown?

we're gonna go on. You come in when you want,
but I'm gonna start answering your questions without you.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Damn.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
He's in a great mood today, so many reasons to celebrate.
We're gonna talk about that with Ed in a moment.
We're gonna meander through the album. We're gonna talk about
the tour, We're gonna talk about the the Disney Plus
documentary of the sum of it All. We've got to
talk about just anything Ed wants to talk about. Ed.
Ed doesn't know his way around the studio. You've never
been in the studio before.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
We've gone to the wrong place. We sat outside being
like I swear, he's usually in downtown. Heyah, how are
you guys?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
They moved us up. Well, we don't know where we are,
but we're doing well. It's so cool, man. So me
has to say, first of all, thanks for being here.
Of course.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I actually I fell asleep at like eight pm yesterday.
He was such a like adrenaline come down. So I
just was like, I need to go to bed, and yeah,
so I've been up.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
For a while. Good good coffee. You need coffee, You
need a caffeination. We also have some tequila. You want
some tequila? Do you need something?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I actually I stopped drinking Spirits a few years ago,
so I'm not I'm beer and wine now, but yeah,
spirits send me a bit.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
West West West is a great place. Look, you did
have a day yesterday. I had it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well, yeah, I had eight years of that eight years,
so yesterday was a real like But I kind of
feel I thought it was going to end last week
and this week would be like the album week. So
I feel like it's overshadowed the record a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's not. And I corrected him. He actually said, I'm
afraid this court case has overshadowed my album, And I'm like,
not on this end, Yeah, it hasn't here, not at all.
We knew what you were doing. By the way, that
courthouse two blocks from my apartment. For sure. All the
weird stuff that happens in New York happens next to
my apartment.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Do you know that one thing I would love to
say because I know that, you know, people are curious
about one. But the one thing that felt like the
biggest win for me was afterwards, Katherine Griffin Townsend and
her family and everyone came up to me, hugged me,
said we believe you. And you know, I got to
walk away being feeling good because it's never a nice
(02:18):
thing like winning and someone else losing, But like walking
away from it knowing that I did the right thing
and that they believed me was I think the biggest win.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And you know what, this wasn't like winning a gold
medal at the Olympics. This wasn't like winning a Grammy.
There was there was There was not a lot of
winning going on.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No, I mean, you know, like on both sides, it
takes a massive toll, like both like personally and financially,
But it's just about It's about heart and integrity. And
that's why I thought it was I can't be accused
of something that I didn't do, so I just had
to had to prove that.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But yeah, you know what ed strength, It's called strength
and courage. You know what an outsider looking in you
met a beautiful woman, made her your wife. She made
you her husband. You went through a cant scare journey.
You have beautiful children, You have this incredible ability to
write incredible music that resonates with people. You actually went
(03:17):
into a courtroom and taught people what a chord is
and how chord progression works and what notes mean. You
you can handle a lot more. And my point is
all of us we can handle a lot more than
we're just we're dished. Yeah, and so congratulations to that.
Today is a new beginning. We have an album we're celebrating,
(03:39):
We've got a tour, and it's weird. This is the
first time I've released an album and like critics like
it too. He said, I'm like that could be bad.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Well yeah, I was like, yeah no, But I mean,
you know, like I said when I was releasing this,
this this album, because it is a very different album
for me to release.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You know, there's not really like.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I'm usually I would have pop so on it, and
I would have certain things that I know would go
down well a live shows or whatever. But this album
I feel like I had to make. I didn't necessarily
have to release it, but I had to make it.
And I feel after playing it to people that were
close to me and seeing their reaction that made me
feel like I needed to put it into the world.
(04:18):
But yeah, it's just it's a it's a different feeling,
like I'm looking at what people feel about it rather
than like, you know, I think that's more important to
how an album's received rather than stats, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And it's true. And I was telling Danielle and Gandhi
this earlier and I'll see it again. The song of
it all on Disney plus the four part documentary, which
is brilliant, it's for me. It was sort of an
instruction manual on how to listen to the album.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, well, I mean that's why the album was meant
to come out on March twenty fourth, and we pushed
it back for I didn't know when this Disney documentary
was going to come. But I very much see the
two things as coming hand in hand there, you know,
the documentary goes with the album, and the album goes
with the documentary. Yeah, and that was kind of like,
because the last thing I want to do is bring
(05:06):
more attention onto my personal life. But I felt that
opening up that door gave more context to the record.
But yeah, it's weird, like filming. It's weird just having
cameras everywhere the whole time. I'm not a reality star,
I'm a musician. I don't think that it's normal sort
of putting all that stuff out there.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
To me, it was different because I know you're a
very private person and we never even met Cherry like
like the way we met her. Now we want to
hang with her. Happy birthday tomorrow, by the way, but like,
what made you decide that let's do this, let's bring
these cameras in here?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, I mean chairs sort of like touches on it
in the documentary, and we were sort of We've talked
about this a lot of whether we can close the
door after we've sort of you know, opened it a
little bit. But you know, she's always been a private person.
She's never had a public Instagram, she's never done a
red carpet with me. We've always been like super private
up private life is our private life. And I think
it was uh, I mean, and this is how I
(06:05):
got my parents to be in it as well.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Is like.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
When you losing Jamal was was one of these things
that will just it will always like live with me.
And I think the thing that's comforted me about me
and Jamal. Has been pictures and footage and documentation of
our relationship over the time that we knew each other.
And I think that for my kids to look back
(06:31):
in forty years and be able to see their parents
in love going through life for their grandparents, I think
there's some there's there's something in that.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I think absolutely, And I mean she is very private.
We haven't heard a lot from her. How is she
doing with all of this new attention.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Uh, she's trying to just trying to lock it out
and ignore it. I think, Yeah, I think that, I
think and everyone kind of respects that. I think the
door is closed again now because when you know she's
not she's not someone that you're suddenly going to see,
you know, pop up on a panel show here and
doing this and doing that. So yeah, it's very much
within the context of the record. The documentary makes sense
(07:06):
and I'm really happy that people are connecting with it.
And the thing that I love about it as well
is no one's listening to the record or watching the
documentary and getting sad. What I didn't want is like
sad pop Star does sad documentary and sad album. What
I wanted was to do a sort of like snapshot
of grief and depression and have people connect it to
their own feelings. And you know, the people that made
(07:28):
the documentary for me, but two of them lost their
mothers whilst we were doing the documentary and they found
the process cathartic by making it and watching it, and yeah,
I think it's yeah, it's good, it's good.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Just sent me a text she said, please stop talking
about me.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
See that's what happened to me. I was telling Elvis.
I was listening to the album on the way in
this morning, and I lost my dad a couple of
years ago. My son's getting ready to leave for colleges,
actually college in the UK.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Where's he going.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Ah, he's going to lead Beckett Cool.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah he's gonna have fun though.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah he's playing soccer, so he's very excited. But I
listen to Life Goes On. I listened to and I
was bawling.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Watch the car, Watch watch this, Watch Watch Daniel. If
you leave me, she's crying, Oh the storme, You're killing me.
You're this is what Ed wants to do. His message
is hitting, It's hitting. Hold.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Everybody's going to have a different message. From it because
they've all gone through different things and I think that
is just so beautiful that it's going to resonate with
So I'm going to very different people, thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, No, it's weird. It's it's different. It's just different
territory for me as an artist. But you know, I
feel like I'm a big, big Bruce Springsteen fan.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And you know, his.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Biggest record is Born in the USA, But my favorite
record of his is Nebraska, and that is not necessarily
his most commercially successful album at all, but for me,
it's his most important record. And I do feel like
this album for me, just as just as a human being,
this one album to me is really important, so I
hope it is to other people.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It is, And it's the story. It's really not about you,
it's about us. And I say it's it's partially about
us because it's so relatable. In the documentary, after the
second episode and they're rolling credit, they play a piece
of no strings, No strings. Yeah you can you hear it?
I know your headphones, you can't hear it. Turning your
(09:27):
knobs down there, if you know what I'm saying. I
heard this after watching your story. I was just gonna
play it. This is what we heard.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
If we make it do this year, we should celebate.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I started thinking about what you and your wife and
we did, you know, listen, jamal the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
When it got to New Year's twenty twenty two, going
into twenty twenty three, we did, you know, raise a
glass of champagne and was like, yeah, I just think
life is it always stars kurples at you, and no
year is without curve balls. There's always something like this year,
for instance, being in what I've been in for the
last two weeks, my grandmother passing away last last last week.
There are things that there are curved balls that are
(10:09):
thrown in. But life is about, you know, having a
bad day and realizing that day ends at midnight and
the next day could be even worse or it could
be even better, but each day ends. I have a
rule of forty eight hours that if something is blown
up and I'm feeling out my lowest, I'm like, make
a decision on something in forty eight hours and just
let it blow over.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And it always does. It always does. Remember this day,
May fifth, twenty twenty three. So I was so I
heard that I watched the show, and I'm thinking, damn,
my husband Alex got cancer, particular cancer and it spread
up to his lymph nodes. You know, we went through that.
We lost our best friend as well, just like you
lost Jamal. I'm like, this is what this album and
(10:49):
what any artist can do in connecting is being relatable,
because yeah, we're all going through these things and you
so beautifully showcase it.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I think this is my point with the documentary and
with the album, Like, at no point am I saying
poor me, I'm going through these things. I'm saying we're
all going through it, like, and you never know what
someone's going through, Like I I at the point that
it was all happening. Last year, I was in that
I had a similar court case in the UK and
I was sat there in court and the other side
(11:18):
were just going at me, battering me, saying all these
like really horrible things and also saying, oh, we've got
this going on in our life and this is why
it's And in my head I was like, they don't
they just assume that everything is fine and that like
because someone's wealthy that solves all the problems. And I
wanted to kind of say, like money doesn't buy back
your dead friend. And money doesn't just kick like Steve
(11:40):
Jobs passed away from cancer and he was the richest
man on earth. It doesn't just fix those things. And
it's things like that that we all go through. Everyone
goes through grief, Everyone goes through you know, sickness things.
Everyone goes through moments where they really feel low and
they can't explain why they feel low. And I just
think it's it's important to always be kind to people
(12:01):
because you never ever know what they're going through.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
How thrilling is it to go through all you have
been through with your wife and with your best friend leaving,
and you lose an ounce or two of innocence and
you become an adult. You become you have to adult now.
But the thrill is you have of this family. Yeah,
(12:23):
if you protect in your circle, you have these kids
that you are protecting from all of these things for now,
so they can grow up and be happy and laugh
and make messes and paint with their fingers and piss
you off.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
That's the wonderful thing about children. You know, the week
that Jamal passed away and it was you know, Cherry
was going through all that health stuff as well is
I would be coming back from Jamal's mum's house at
like two o'clock in the morning, crying myself to sleep,
waking up at six am with my daughter who's blissfully
unaware of everything, this kind of beautiful girl coming in
(12:58):
and being like, let's have breakfast and let's listen to music.
And that, for me is what's wonderful about kids is like,
it's not that they don't care what's going on, but
they're so blissfully unaware that life is just let's have
fun and let's live in this moment. And I think
it's really important when you're going through times of hardship
to have, you know, that sort of innocent fun.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Well you still do it, I mean, Diane, Oh yeah,
I'll just leave that right there.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So that was that was a friend of mine brought
me a box of wigs for my birthday once and yeah,
I have a I have an alter ego.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Who's your ego?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You are your own?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
How do we get an invite to this?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Your bar?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I mean that is just the coolest place.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
To edge pub. I love it.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You know, you used to get used a lot more
pre COVID. I used to like the party that was
in the documentary on on Disney was like the first
time I'd had more than like three people in there
since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
But it used to be yeah, pretty rocking. Yeah there
you go ed Sheerings here if you haven't figured that out.
And we had two rules. We were not going to
dwell on the core case and the other rule was
we're not going to.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Ask about the six foot marble penis that you promised
you were going to send Elvis and we have a gun.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yet I'm not going to bring that up.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Well, there there was a bit of dramas with the
guys making the penis back in the UK, So I
know I can't.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I can't go into it. I can't go into it.
I don't want to hear your lame excuses about my
six foot penis. You know. I'm glad you.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I'm glad you reminded me though, because I know because
I'm I'm now I'm on tour.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
In the States for the next six months, so I
can find a penis. You do you have nothing else
going on except a family and in a tour and
an album. Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I've sort of like my whole world has been sort
of encapsulated by court case, documentary, an album, and the
tour starts on Saturday. But when it starts, it's going
to be like, oh, oh, there's help the things to
do now, I'm really excited.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Good, you know what that this tour is a great
toy to play with. So yeah, you're going to have
so much fun.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
You know, I haven't been here in five years doing
show shows, and I'm doing I'm basically subtract as an album.
I'm going to be playing in full night the night
before most of the big shows, in a small theater
in the town, So I'm going to basically be able
to play to like two thousand people and then eight
thousand people in two thousand pop.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It's going to be It's gonna be really fun. I
wish I could just go through a scene by scene
by seeing everything that's in the summer it all on
Disney Plus, but I'm not. I want everyone to watch it.
But there are so many touching, touching scenes.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Of the relationship between you and your wife is just beautiful,
and obviously you already know that, but it's so nice
to see it from the outside. It just seems so
genuine and fulfilling and happy, and I'm like, couples goals.
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
It was definitely, do you know.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I think the interesting thing about the documentary was that
when the guys came to me to make it, they
were like, we don't want you involved whatsoever. We don't
want you executive producing it, we don't want you being
on the edit. They're like, we don't want to make
a promo package for you, because most documentaries are like,
I'm making the album. Here's the album, and that's originally
what I thought we were going to do, just an
album to promote subtracts, and they were like, the music
(16:07):
is secondary, like you as a person is what people
want to see. So all of the things in it,
I feel uncomfortable watching it because some of it depicts,
you know, I'm a bit of a workaholic, and it
depicts me working away a lot, and that for me
is uncomfortable. But that is also reality and truth, and
I just think they did a really really good job
of it, and it didn't feel like propaganda. It felt
(16:29):
like an actual snapshot.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It makes all the sense. When you see it, you'll
totally get it. Did you bring a guitar with you
by chair. Yeah, okay, okay, I'm just asking, well, I
don't know why I to hear about Hey, Tom Pulman,
the president of I heard something I don't know. Tom
is here, they're hugging. Tom has a box with him.
You need to be on a microphone because, as you know,
in radio, they need the hearers. No, that's not working.
(16:54):
You can't use it the way. This is a big award. Cool.
You know, we've been heavy Shivers for a long time
on the radio stations. We've now reached the one billion mark,
and so this is an award. Oh my gosh, look
(17:17):
at that. What is that? What is this award? One billion?
iHeartRadio audience spins? Congratulations? A billion spins.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Is really really really cool, really cool. You know, I
just found out that Shivers is a it's a line
dancing anthem. Now people do live dances to Shivers. I
want to see this, and I think we should learn
the dance.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I think we should have. Well, that's so kind of congratulations.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You always wonder every album, every album, you always wonder
whether like you're going to lose the kids, you know,
because like kids. I constantly have young people coming to
my gigs and with shivers.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
All these kids keep coming up to me and they're like,
we like shivers and wow, okay still got still insurance
eighty two? Doing a residency in Las Vegas. Yeah, I
don't think I'd ever do that, you know yet, you
the money?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You love to do a residency in like like my
hometown is like no one ever goes there, and I'd
love to do a residency there and actually have people
traveling to you go to it.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You can do that. You can be Are you familiar
with Bramson Missouri? You could turn it into the Branson
of them?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Ok why not you being in your little town square
doing the concert and then giving that little boy spoiler
spoiler learning he gives the boy a guitar.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
About about that, It's like none of none of that
was set up. It was like I was playing this
guitar and I just saw this kid had turned up
with his mum after a guitar lesson, and I was
like this is too good to be true. I was like,
did you just come from a guitar lesson? He's like yeah,
I was. I was just like, well, do you want
my guitar? And I think I think we're going to
be hearing from in the future though, I think, yeah,
I think he's going to be something.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You totally changed the trajectory of their kids life.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah, yeah, well that that's what happened to me. When
I was eleven, meeting Damien Rice made me want to
be a singer songwriter and it was like twenty seconds
of his time, but it's now been an entire lifetime
and career for me. So doing that, you know, showing
kids because I'm I'm I'm also I'm not I'm not
from like a really gifted like me and my brother
(19:21):
like learned to play music, but we were never like
amazing at music from the start. We like learned and learn, learn,
And it's saying to kids like, you can do this too,
I am I was just like you. I couldn't sing,
I couldn't play guitar, I couldn't perform, and I learned
how to do it just by practice and hard work.
And yeah, I think it's I think it's good to
show kids that because also, like music is a great job,
(19:44):
and when I was younger, it wasn't seen as a job.
It was like, well, you know, go and get a
real job, but you should always do what you enjoy.
I'm sure when you said to people I'm going to
work in radio, they were like, yeah, but go and
get a real job as well.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
And now look you're Elvis.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Word for word. That's what my dad said to me.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, sitting here with you right now, and you're about
to do a song for us and a couple of yea. Yeah,
this is not a real job. And we've got puppy.
We've got puppies on the way.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Not a real job.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We got puppies.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So showing them that school is cool because you know
you're talking about maths and everything.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, vision and.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Plus I like that you said maths. Yeah, you know
that's why I called the tool of the mathematics tool?
Is that of the math tool.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna get some
puppies to get a guitar in here. I don't know
where this is going. This is we're gonna dangerous, but
it's someone with this. It's almost as heavy as a
six foot tall marble pizness. Now, I'm now I'm here
and clear headed. I'm I'm I'm on it. I'm on it.
Remember this date and we're gonna take a break. Remember
this date May twenty three. It's okay before we break.

you say? It's single the it's May fifth, it's a
new chapter four ed Sharan. So we were talking a
second ago about the documentary on Disney Plus called The
Sum of It All and it was in four parts,
and again remind us of the four parts they were
(21:29):
called Love Loss, Focus Release. Until now with the new
beginning today, what are we calling this one?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I think thirties, you know, live live your thirties. I
think that's what I'm really enjoying about. Your twenties are
basically figuring out everything and messing up a lot, and
thirties are you know, you're obviously like heavier life. Stuff
starts happening just because you're getting older, and that's what happens.
But I feel like you've figured out most of the
things by thirty, and then when you get to forty
(21:57):
you figured out even more.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
So then it's even more fun to your aide, you
know everything.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I feel like your twenties are so ghetto and amazing.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, you know it's you. Don't you realize that actually
nights in a way better than nights out. And I
know that sounds so boring, but you know.
