As a tribute to his late friend, Sheeran has dedicated his first single from his upcoming album “Subtract,” called “Eyes Closed,” to Edwards. The song is set to release on March 24.

He continued, “This song is about missing someone, feeling like every time you go out, and you expect to run into them, and everything reminds you of them and the things you did together.”
