Ed posted a tribute to Jamal on his Instagram page after his tragic death from a heart attack was announced.

There will never be anything close to what he is.' She added: 'Jamal was an inspiration to myself and so many. Our love for him lives on, his legacy lives on.'
In another poignant moment, after finishing her song, Brenda addressed the mourners and said she hoped that her son's death would help unite their community.
