James Blunt shares heartfelt memories of ‘best friend’ Carrie Fisher

James Blunt has shared heartfelt memories of living with his “best friend” Carrie Fisher when he moved to Los Angeles.

The Monsters hitmaker shared that his long lasting friendship with the Stars Wars icon started in 2003.

During a conversation with Guardian, James recalled, “I was going out with a girl whose parents were family friends of Carrie's and I sat beside her at lunch. I had just got a record deal and was moving to LA.”

He added, “Carrie’s first question was: 'What do you do?' I said, 'I’ve left the army to go to make an album in LA.' Question number two was: 'Where are you going to live?' I said I didn’t know,” continuing, “Her reply -- the third thing she ever said to me -- was: 'Well, you’re going to live with me.' So I did just that.”

The You're Beautiful crooner revealed that he didn't see Carrie during the first month when he shifted to her house.

After a while the pair became “best friends” as they saw each other between recording sessions.

James revealed, “I came home one night and sat on the end of her bed and we talked until morning. After that, whenever I got back from the studio I’d go into her room to talk, no matter if it was 11pm or 3am. She became my best, best friend.”

A few years later on December 27, 2016, Carrie passed away due to a heart attack at age 60.
