Sarah Silverman is "in shock" over Adam Schlesinger's death: We were recently working together
-
The Emmy-winning Fountains of Wayne co-founder had been recently working with Silverman in adapting her memoir The Bedwetter as a Broadway musical. "I’m just kind of numb, and I can’t seem to convince myself it’s true. My body won’t believe it," Silverman wrote on Instagram this morning. "I’m in nyc where I came to work with him to finally mount a musical we had been working on together for almost 7 years. I write this from an Airbnb he found for me, sitting in a chair he was in just under 3 weeks ago, the last time we worked together before he started feeling sick. Adam was an astonishing songwriter and composer and one of the funniest people you could know. His songs are funny and poignant, and often- despite himself- stunningly heartfelt."
