The groundbreaking record producer died after a cardiac arrhythmia brought on by recreational drugs at age 31. The news sent a shockwave through the British music industry with countless stars sharing their sympathies and heartache.
Ed Sheeran, one of Jamal's closest friends and colleagues, also remembered him today with a touching tribute shared on Instagram.

Shortly after his death, the Jamal Edwards Self Belief Trust was organised to "support causes that mattered most" to him. Brenda said: "Jamal lived his life staying true to himself, providing a platform for all to showcase what made them special whilst encouraging all to believe in themselves to achieve their full potential.
"For the past 10 years, Edwards had spent Christmas Day helping at homeless shelters, and the charity now aims to set up ‘a network of Self Belief Houses’ to help those struggling with homelessness, with mental health and self-help programmes available.
"The foundation organisers also hope to open a ‘Self Belief Academy,’ which it says ‘will continue the mission started by Jamal of hosting specialised programmes aimed at helping young people from underprivileged backgrounds prepare themselves for adult life."
