The 43-year-old singer previously dubbed the late 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' star - who passed away in December 2016 aged 60 - as his "American mother", and has now expressed his sadness at the fact that his eight-month-old son, whom he shares with his wife Sofia Wellesley, will never "get to know her."
He said: "She's the most amazing person I know and I'm really desperately sad he won't get to know her but I have many memories, many stories I'll be able to tell him."
The 'You're Beautiful' hitmaker couldn't share any of those stories, however, as he deemed them unsuitable for camera.
When asked by People magazine if he could share any stories about his friendship with the late star, James said: "I don't know if any of them are safe enough to tell on camera."
Meanwhile, James previously admitted "life won't be as fun" without Carrie, with whom he struck up an unlikely friendship after ex-girlfriend Dixie Chassay, whose family are long-time friends of the Hollywood star, introduced them.
He said: "She was just the most incredible person. She was a hugely bright person and her brain just jumped between subjects and she was an incredible writer and comedian in her own way. Life will definitely not be as much fun now that she's not around."
Their friendship became stronger when Carrie learnt that James was heading to Los Angeles to record in the US and she kindly invited him to stay with her at her Beverley Hills home.
He recalled: "I met her in Notting Hill and I said, 'I've got a record deal and I'm moving to LA,' and she said, 'Well you're going to need a place to stay,' and she put me up, and has been really, I suppose, my kind-of, godmother in the States, my landlady definitely. She was a very, very special woman and it's an absolute tragedy that she's gone."
