And I was obviously totally saddened by the fact that eventually, you know. "And it was very stressful and it was very hard on my spirit. "It was a whole different thing for me," she recalled. Her grandmother eventually succumbed to the illness, leaving Alicia with a newfound, albeit painful, awareness. Keys admitted it was largely this experience that helped her realize she had been neglecting herself and her personal life. I learnt a lot - about family, about who's there for me, who's not."

In a recent interview with The Independent the multi-talented Keys revealed she faced some "real lows" in 2006, before embarking on the writing and recording of her coming album As I Am. With a new album only weeks away, Alicia Keys is finally opening up about her personal life and the recent death of her grandmother.
