Speaking to US radio show The Breakfast Club, Ed said: "there was a big conversation about what do we include [in the doc].

"As long as it's honest and it links in with a theme of something that's in a song - there is no point in putting something in if it's detrimental to my life."

Ed explained that the focus of the film will lie in his decision to base his family life in the English countryside in Suffolk, instead of moving to LA as " when I go home I am a friend, a dad, a husband, a son."
