While staying in her home, James said Carrie predicted her own death. “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 said. “I’m trying to remember what the date was, because it was around now—and I remember thinking it was too soon.”

Despite the oddities of his stay, James and Carrie formed a strong bond, and the singer asked her to be the godfather of his only child. “The saddest thing is that my son will never get to know someone I thought was the most special person,” he said.
