Alicia Keys is featured in German Vanity Fair magazine for November.In the magazine Alicia talks about taking care of her dying grandmother:
“If I hadn’t devoted all my time and energies to my grandmother I would be a terribly messed up person right now. I would be full of regret and really down on myself for that. I was able to spend some of the most precious time with her ever. The experience really made me grow up. I learned a lot – about family, about who is there for me, who is not”.
Keys believes that the experience completely changed her as a person:
“It was a whole different lifestyle for me. Before I was like, ‘Oh, I have to go to Miami? OK, I’m just going to hop on a plane tomorrow,’ but things had to completely change. It was stressful and it was very hard on my spirit. So it was hard and it was joyful. It was bittersweet.”
Alicia recently performed The Fray’s “How To Save A Life” in memory of her grandmother.You can listen to it,after the jump.
