if someone joins family sharing Apple music will they lose their downloaded music?

My husband has his own subscription to Apple Music. I have Family Sharing and can add him to my Apple Music subscription. If I do, will he lose the apple music he has downloaded through his subscription? My goal is to do away with his subscription and we both be on my Family Plan.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

It’ll do what you want; you’ll each have your own private playlists and your own downloads, and with one Apple Music Family Share plan.

If someone in the family group already has an individual or student subscription to Apple Music, renewal of that subscription is automatically canceled when they join the family group.
