Ed Sheeran’s new docu-series
On March 20, Ed Sheeran took to Instagram to announce the docu-series. He wrote in the caption “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. 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.”
