A day after her first performance, Jewel abruptly left. Shortly after, she sent the late CEO a message via FedEx. Due to his digital cleansing, he does not text and emails.

Jewel warned the then 46-year-old tech wiz of his lifestyle and addiction to drugs and alcohol. In the letter released to Forbes, the singer told Hsieh that he was not in his right mind.

One of those to pay an emotional tribute to the late mogul was his dear friend Jewel. In a tearful Youtube video titled "Elegy for Tony Hsieh," Jewel mourned the business icon.

Jewel rendered a heartwarming acoustic performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and talked about how she met the late tech mogul and described him as fearless.

According to reports, before his death, Hsieh battled with his mental health and loneliness. The COVID-19 lockdown caused Hsieh to feel lonely and depressed, which increased his reliance on drugs and other substances.

Before his untimely death, Hsieh reportedly wanted to go to rehab to get help. The late 46-year-old was making plans to check in to a rehab facility in Hawaii the night before his death.

Hsieh touched the lives of many with his generosity and enormous heart. He was described as one with a flair for life and a heart for people.
