Margaret Cho Describes Anna Nicole Smith's Final Days

It has been nine years since Anna Nicole Smith died of a drug overdose at the age of 39, but Margaret Cho is paying tribute to her in a big way.

The Fashion Police special co-host released a single titled "Anna Nicole" off her upcoming album, American Myth, and gave it a music video that honors the late star in a huge way. The video and song, which recall Cho and Smith's famous kiss on The Anna Nicole Smith Show's Christmas special in 2002, also expresses Cho's well wishes for her fallen friend.

"This is a wonderful collaboration with Garrison Starr and it's a requiem for Anna Nicole Smith that is as beautiful and quirky as she was," she posted on her blog. "It's my version of 'Candle in the Wind,' and about the archetype of someone who is too good for this world that exists in all of us."

Cho opened up about her friend's final days on Conversations With Maria Menounos revealed that the death of Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel, in 2006, permanently changed her. "I think that her grief was overwhelming," the comedian told Menounos. "Her son had died, and her son was just so precious to her."
