Well, well, well, looks like James Blunt has taken it upon himself to reveal the true cause of Carrie Fisher’s death. Move over medical professionals, we have a real life Obi-Wan Kenobi here, using his knowledge of the force to diagnose what really happened to our beloved Princess Leia.

According to our dear Mr. Blunt, it wasn’t just a simple cardiac arrest that took Fisher’s life, no no. It was the stress and pressure of being Princess freaking Leia once again. Because apparently wearing those iconic buns and wielding a lightsaber is enough to send anyone into a fatal spiral.

But wait, there’s more! Blunt also claims that Hollywood’s obsession with youth and thinness played a part in Fisher’s relapse into drug abuse. Because in La La Land, women are only allowed to age gracefully if they have a time machine, while men can just slap on some hair plugs and call it a day.

But don’t worry, Blunt isn’t just spouting off his unqualified opinions, he also has some insider info. As Carrie’s “best best friend” (cue eye roll), he spent some quality time recording music in her bathroom and writing songs about driving up to her gate on a whim. How touching.

But the real cherry on top of this whole situation? Blunt’s seven-year-long writer’s block that magically disappeared when he finally wrote a song about visiting Fisher’s house post-mortem. Because nothing says “tribute to my dear departed friend” like using her death as inspiration for your next hit single.

But don’t worry, Blunt also took this opportunity to share his own struggles with fame and the pressure to maintain a certain image. How noble of him to use someone else’s tragedy to talk about his own issues. And let’s not forget his call for more support and understanding in the entertainment industry. Because nothing shows support and understanding like exploiting your dead friend for publicity.

So thank you James Blunt, for gracing us with your wisdom and insight into the true cause of Carrie Fisher’s death. Who needs medical professionals and actual evidence when we have a singer-songwriter to tell us what really happened? May the force be with you, but maybe stick to singing instead of trying to play armchair therapist/autopsy expert.
