According to James Blunt, Carrie Fisher knew she wouldn't be alive in 2017

James Blunt has released chilling information regarding the death of his good friend and star wars star, Carrie Fisher.

Apparently Carrie made the call when James was staying at her Los Angeles home while he was recording his latest album, 'Back To Bedlam'.

"She put a cardboard cutout of herself as Leia outside my room with her date of birth and date of death on her forehead," he told the Sunday Times Culture magazine.

He says that he can't remember the exact date she thought that she was going to die, but stated "I remember thinking it was too soon."

He even wrote his latest hit song 'Goodbye My Lover' using a piano in the actress' bathroom.

The pair remained close through the years and Fisher is godmother to his one-year-old son.

"The saddest thing is that my son will never get to know someone I thought was the most special person. Fisher was my American mother, and a real inspiration," he said.

Fisher was just 60 when she died in hospital in Los Angeles on December 27, days after suffering a massive heart attack on a flight home from London.
