He had the most incredible DNA that I&#8217;ve ever seen in anybody,\u201d he said. \u201cHe could do more and more drugs than anybody, and still wake up the next day and perform.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He noted, \u201cI don&#8217;t think anybody really thought he was gonna die.

You keep going forward,\u201d he said. \u201cBut then one day you don&#8217;t. So up to the very end, we were still making music and we talked about, what are we gonna do next year? But it was clear that he was going downhill.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Alex also talked about his final moments with Eddie in the hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAll I know is that when he stopped breathing, I didn&#8217;t hear anything. I didn&#8217;t see anything. There were no bells. There were no angels,\u201d he says, noting that because of the COVID-19 pandemic Eddie&#8217;s body was immediately taken away. \u201c[It was] a very uneventful ending to an eventful life. But you know what? He fought it till the very end. I wanna think of Ed&#8217;s life in terms of that he never gave up.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
