Carrie Fisher was incredibly special individual: James Blunt

Singer James Blunt has dubbed the late Carrie Fisher as an incredibly special individual and said he might record a tribute to the star in the future.

The "You're Beautiful" hitmaker was a close friend of the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" actress, who passed away in December after suffering a cardiac arrest aged 60.

Blunt said that while his recently released album "The Afterlove" was finished before the star passed away, he might record a tribute to her in the future, reported Daily Star.

"I had already finished the album by the time she died. I might write something in the future. She was an incredibly special individual. The world is a poorer place without her," he said.
