JAKARTA - Bryan Adams told how Diana's song helped build a'real' friendship with the princess.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Adams said he met the princess on the plane, where he told her he wrote Diana about her.

The Canadian rocker released the song in 1985 as a B-side song from Heaven's hit song, and wrote a song about her daughter's marriage to Prince Charles.

The princess reportedly replied: 'Yes, I know, very funny. Actually I wanted to hear it again.'

After Adams sent a copy of the song to Kensington Palace, Diana invited the musician to drink tea.

When I first went to KP (Kensington Palace), he didn't say like 'I really need to talk to someone', and you don't have to bulldoze someone's life by wanting to know everything in the first 10 minutes,' he said.

It's 'let's drink tea'. But then, the more we are friends, the more I know what really happened.

Adams said he continued to have many interesting conversations with the late girls as they became friends.

"Actually it's strange and not real to think about," he said. I really, really like Diana, she is an amazing woman and a really great inspiration.

'Meeting with him is really one of the biggest things ever happened to me.'

In the interview, Adams also claimed Diana's lyrics were just a "stubborn host" who said she was inspired by "a man who had [deserved] entered the Queen's bedroom and sat in his bed smoking".

The musician referred to an incident in 1982, in which Queen Elizabeth II woke up and found a painter named Michael Fagan entering her room.
