“Obviously (the family) are so sad and coming to terms with it, but she described the last few days and they spent the time with him in hospital,” Ball said.
He added that the Moore family “spent the time talking and reminiscing about his life and about this year and he was so proud and so content and he didn’t suffer”.
“What keeps them going, I think, is the outpouring of love and respect for everything that Tom achieved over the last year,” Ball said. “It has been extraordinary.”
The singer, who recorded a cover of You’ll Never Walk Alone with Sir Tom, said he was “really lucky” to have known him.
