Therefore, when he returned, his state of health did not go unnoticed by any of his trusted people. “He had to go to Palm Springs because his house was damaged inside and they had to clean everything up. He was there for a while, and when he came back, I was stunned by how much weight he had lost.”explained the composer.

Despite this visible deterioration, Sager highlighted that Keaton kept intact something that always characterized her: her luminous energy and her ability to fill any space she was in with life. "I loved it. It was so special, it lit up any room with its energy. She was happy and full of life, and she photographed everything she saw. He was a completely creative person, he never stopped creating."Carole expressed affectionately. Since her departure a week ago, the actress' friend shared a large number of photos on her Instagram account with Diane at events, parties and coffee chats.

Annie Hall"Sager recalled tenderly. "He wore hats, jackets, baggy pants and belts. She was a fashion icon in her own right. “Her style was her way of presenting herself to the world,” she explained about what dressing meant to the actress.

Sager recounted how they had the experience together of recording the song “First Christmas”, released in November 2024, in collaboration with Jonas Myrin. “He loved recording this song. She did it almost like a girl. She was so authentic when she sang it… and in a way she acted, because she is a great actress. Then he would start crying while playing it. But he did a beautiful job,” he said about their joint work.
