Ed Sheeran has revealed he would 'hate' for his daughter to suffer from depression as he spoke about how mental health issues run in his family.
Appearing on a Swedish TV show, the singer, 30, who is proud dad to 14-month-Lyra, talked about his fears she will grow up to experience the 'real lows', which he can relate to.
'I don’t want her to have the ability to have real lows. I would hate for her to have that. I know she will, as it runs in my family. But I would hate for her to feel sad and not know why,' Ed said.
