OHMYGOSSIP — Brenda Edwards has been supported by her ‘Loose Women’ co-stars following the death of her son Jamal Edwards.
The DJ and founder of the online urban music platform SB.TV – who helped launched the careers of the likes of Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Jessie J and Dave – passed away on Sunday (20.02.22) aged 31 from a “sudden illness”.
Brenda, 52, issued a statement on her son’s tragic passing which read: “It is with the deepest heartache that I confirm that my beautiful son Jamal Edwards passed away yesterday morning after a sudden illness. Myself, his sister Tanish and the rest of his family and friends are completely devastated. He was the centre of our world,
“As we come to terms with his passing, we ask for privacy to grieve this unimaginable loss. I would like to thank everyone for their messages of love and support. Jamal was an inspiration to myself and so many. Our love for him lives on, his legacy lives on. Long live Jamal Edwards MBE, MBA, PHD.”
Many of Brenda’s fellow ‘Loose Women’ panellists took to social media to offer words of condolence as she comes to terms with Jamal’s death.
Denise Welch posted on Twitter: “My heart aches for my friend Brenda. I can’t bear it. Jamal Edwards was a wonderful son and brother.”
Charlene White – who often helms the ITV daytime show – tweeted: “Your light shone so brightly that it touched so many of us, impacted the lives of many more, and changed the game forever.
“And, you are my Brenda’s son. There are no words to describe her heartbreak, our heartbreak, now that your light has gone. Sometimes life is terribly unfair.”
Posting on Twitter, Katie Piper wrote: “Shocked and sadden to hear of the passing of
@jamaledwards thoughts and prayers with @brenda_edwards and family.”
Saira Khan – who no longer sits on the ‘Loose Women’ panel – took time out from a family holiday to admit she was “devastated” to hear of “shining light” Jamal’s passing.
Posting a statement via Instagram Live, she wrote: “I have just heard the heartbreaking news that @jamaledwards has died. I am devastated for @brendaedwardsglobal and send her and her whole family my prayers and deepest sympathies.
“I met @jalamedewards whilst filming a children’s show and was struck by his humility and passion to help kids to believe in their talents.
“R.I.P young man. You were a bright shining light here on earth. Now you will shine brightly in the sky.”
Jamal – who was born in Luton – had only recently attended the BRIT Awards on February 8.
In his last Instagram post four days ago, the author paid tribute to his close friend Ed Sheeran on his 31st birthday.
He wrote alongside a snap with the ‘Bad Habits’ hitmaker: “Happy Birthday to the OG, Ed. Blessed to have you in my life brother. You know you’ve been mates a long time when you lose count on the years! Keep smashing it and inspiring us all G! (sic)”
Jamal was made an MBE for his contributions to music in 2014 and was also an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust, Prince Charles’ charity.
A champion for emerging artists, Jamal launched SB.TV in 2006.
He started out making videos of his friends performing and uploaded them to his YouTube channel, before creating the SB.TV channel.
