Ed Sheeran's family worried about his health

LONDON: Ed Sheeran's cousin Jethro says the family is worried about the singer's showbiz lifestyle.

Jethro, 39, has spoken out about his fears for the singer's health during the past year and believes that Ed's track "Bloodstream" is about taking the class A drug MDMA, reported Female First.

Speaking about his reaction to seeing pictures of Ed stumbling out of the Brit Awards after party in February, he said, "I was worried about him, I think he had had too much to drink. He was a bit embarrassed about it but what are you going to do?

"Ed is very open about drugs. He has said how he fell in love with a bean bag because he was on MDMA. That is what "Bloodstream" is about, chemicals in his bloodstream."

Jethro thinks the 24-year-old singer will benefit from a well deserved break in Ghana.

"I think he just wants to sit at home and watch movies. He likes the music that has come out of Ghana, he knows that there is going to be no pressure. He just doesn't want to be recognised," he said.
