James Blunt reveals that Carrie Fisher may have predicted her own death

Carrie Fisher's tragic death may have come as a shock to most, but the "Star Wars" actress may have known her time was coming sooner rather than later.

James Blunt was once a guest in Fisher's home, and he revealed in an interview with The Sunday Times an eerie story about how she seemingly predicted her death.

The British singer got close with the Hollywood icon after staying at her home while recording his first album in the United States.

"Fisher was my American mother, and a real inspiration," he told the British paper.

He recalled playing his hit song "Goodbye My Lover" with the piano in her bathroom. In fact, the name of his 2004 album, "Back to Bedlam," was influenced by the experience -- because he "lived in a madhouse with her."

Then he went on to explain an incredibly strange prediction Fisher made about her 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."

Fisher died at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack while on board a flight from London to Los Angeles in December of last year. Just a day later, her mother Debbie Reynolds passed away at the age of 84. According to Reynolds' death certificate, she died from a blood vessel that ruptured and caused bleeding in her brain.

The mother-daughter duo will be honored at the 2017 Academy Awards on February 26. In a 2010 interview, Fisher requested that co-star Harrison Ford sing at her tribute.

"I asked him if he would be in my death reel, and if he would sing," the actress said. "It's just something I want."
