LOS ANGELES
Carrie, Debbie lauded at public memorial service
Singer James Blunt says he was lucky to know "incredibly inspirational" Carrie Fisher. The 45-year-old singer was close friends with the late ‘Star Wars’ actor, who passed away in 2016, and even stayed with her while he was recording his albums in Los Angeles.
''The world is a sadder place without her. I lived with her in Los Angeles recording most of my albums, and whenever I've been in America, in LA, that has been my home. She's godmother to my child, she helped me name 'Back to Bedlam' because her house was a mad house. I recorded 'Goodbye My Lover' in her bathroom.
''And she was an incredibly inspirational, creative human being, who saw the funny side of everything. She was more fragile than I think people knew, but I was very lucky to know her," Blunt told People Now.
