Jamal Edwards death: Brenda Edwards says son, 31, was ‘centre of our world’ after SBTV star passes from ‘short illness’
BRENDA Edwards has said her son Jamal was "the centre of our world" as she paid tribute to him following his death aged 31. The Loose Women panellist thanked everyone for "messages of love and support" following the sudden death of SBTV founder Jamal, who gained fame from setting up the new music platform in 2006, which is often credited as helping to launch a string of UK music careers including Dave, Ed Sheeran and Jessie J. He was also an ambassador for the Prince's Trust, a charity headed by the Prince of Wales, and in 2014 he was awarded an MBE for his services to music.
