Amy Winehouse

The new legend of pop music Amy Jade Winehouse appeared on September 14, 1983 in the town of Southgate near London. The parents of the future star, Jews by nationality, had no relation to music: Janice Winehouse's mother worked as a pharmacist, Mitch Winehouse's father as a taxi driver. True, the music lover dad collected a serious collection of jazz records at home and often sang to his daughter before going to bed something from Frank Sinatra.

On my mother’s side, there were several musicians in the family at once - the singer's uncles were professional jazz players, and her paternal grandmother was an absolutely wonderful person - a former soul and jazz singer, the youthful love of the legendary Ronnie Scott. It was with her grandmother that Amy first visited a tattoo parlor and tasted beer. In honor of her world relative, the singer later even got a tattoo "Cynthia", capturing the name of the old woman on her own body.

When the future singer turned nine, her parents divorced, and her grandmother demanded that Amy be sent to the prestigious and well-known art school "Susi Earnshaw Theater School" - they say, the talent of the crumbs will flourish there. Cynthia was right, but Winehouse immediately became known as a difficult child - in the classroom, the teachers could not silence her, the baby was constantly singing.

At the age of ten, the girl heard and discovered protest music - hip-hop and R&B. The group "Salt'n'Pepa" has become a favorite and a role model. A year later, the future star with her classmate Juliet Ashby was doing her best in her own hip-hop project, Sweet 'n' Sour. Amy Winehouse herself called her group "the Jewish version of Salt'n'Pepa." At the age of twelve, the student transferred from the theater school of Sylvia Young, but only a year later she was expelled - the girl's behavior was far from exemplary.

At thirteen, Winehouse was given a special gift - Amy received her first musical instrument. It was a guitar, which the future star never parted with. The girl began to write her own songs and every day she enthusiastically indulged in a new favorite business. During this period, her main inspirers were Sarah Vaughan and Dina Washington - classics of jazz and soul. At the same time, Amy, who had become quite skilled in vocals, performed with several local bands and recorded the first demos of her songs.

In 2000, at the age of sixteen, Amy Winehouse entered big show business. She never rushed into him, and the case helped the case. The girl's ex-boyfriend, soul singer Tyler James, sent the cassette with her demos to the manager of the production center Island / Universal, who was just looking for aspiring jazz vocalists. So Winehouse got a contract and began her career as a professional singer.

In 2003 her debut album "Frank" was released, named after her beloved Sinatra. Listeners, critics and seasoned musicians were amazed by the combination of graceful melodies, evocative lyrics and the girl's unique voice. Within a year, the album went platinum, and the singer was passionately carried away by all those who had recently been shocked by the shocking young talent.

Amy was nominated for the Brit Awards and Mercury Music Prize. Her very first single - "Stronger Than Me", created in a duet with Salaam Remy, brought Winehouse the title of the author of the best contemporary song at the ceremony of awarding the British composers Ivor Novello Awards.

At the same time, the talented singer became a regular hero of the pages of the yellow press. Drugs and alcohol, harsh jokes and harsh statements, insults to the press and listeners, inappropriate behavior - what else is needed for the paparazzi to be happy?

The girl's second album was released in 2006. Winehouse's "Back to Black" was inspired by female pop and jazz bands from the 50s and 60s. The album almost immediately ended up in seventh place on the Billboard chart and went five times platinum. The very first single from the album Rehab was awarded the Ivor Novello award in spring 2007. It was named the best contemporary song. Later, clips were shot for this and other songs.

In 2008, at the 50th Grammy Awards, Amy Winehouse received 5 awards at once (Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Best Pop Album, and Best Female Performance of a Pop Song for " Rehab ”). True, the singer was never given an American visa, so she made a grateful speech on Skype.

In the same year, Amy Winehouse was supposed to perform the main composition for the next episode of the film about the legendary James Bond "Quantum of Solace". However, it was later announced that the singer had other plans. But another British star Adele, who performed a similar song in the cult film about a spy, won an Oscar.

Adele, whose albums are now flying in millions of copies, admitted in a recent interview that it was Winehouse's work that prompted her to start her own musical career. She was specifically influenced by Amy's debut album.

In the summer of 2007, Amy pulled out of concerts in the United States and Britain, announcing health problems. The press got information that the girl was "sitting" on hard drugs. Then she spent five days in rehabilitation in a specialized clinic.

In June 2008 Winehouse gave her only concert in Russia. A unique event was awarded to the opening of the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture. And after a while the girl ended up in the hospital with a diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema.

In the same year, Amy earned several police arrests (for attacks and on suspicion of drug possession) and again went to rehab - to the Caribbean villa of singer Brian Adams. Island / Universal have seriously promised to terminate the singer's contract if she does not get rid of her addictions.

After a scandalous concert in Belgrade in June 2011, the star canceled a European tour. Then she went on stage in front of 20,000 spectators in a state of strong alcoholic intoxication, but she could not sing - she constantly forgot the words. Therefore, the logical reason for canceling the tour was "inability to perform at the proper level."

In 2005, Amy met Blake Fielder-Sibyl in a pub. Two years later, the couple formalized the relationship. The relationship could not be called simple - the couple abused alcohol together, took drugs, often fought and became objects of close attention of the paparazzi. Amy's relatives often stated in the press that it was Blake who had a bad influence on the girl and did not allow her to quit doping.

In 2008, Winehouse's wife was sentenced to twenty-seven months in prison for assaulting a man. In prison, the guy began divorce proceedings, and in 2009 the couple divorced.

The singer lived a short life and will be remembered not only by her loyal fans, but also by those men with whom she had a relationship. And it was not just a spouse. Her men were, overwhelmingly, also musicians.

The first boyfriend of the performer, which is known to the general public, was music manager George Roberts. Amy also met with a young musician Alex Clare. He spoke enthusiastically about the relationship with the star, being sure that she would not return to her husband. But Winehouse returned, and Claire, in revenge, told many details of Amy's intimate life.

There was a page in Winehouse's life when she met with Kate Moss's ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty, who, like her husband, was not averse to indulging in drugs. Everything could radically change in Amy's life after meeting the British director Reg Travis. However, it did not grow together here either, especially since Travis' former lover actively put a spoke in the wheel for the couple.

After Winehouse's death, it turned out that for some time the singer had been preparing documents for the adoption of ten-year-old Dannika Augustina. The artist met a girl from a poor Caribbean family in 2009 on the island of Santa Lucia. However, the plans did not come true.

On July 23, 2011, the music world was stunned by the news - Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment. The examination revealed that the level of alcohol in the body of the deceased was five times higher than the norm compatible with human life, recognizing the death as an accident. It was not possible to find out how true this version is.

The singer's father is sure that death could have occurred due to a heart attack, which was caused by alcohol poisoning. According to the preliminary version, Amy Winehouse died of a drug overdose. But the police could not find drugs in the house. A re-investigation in 2013 did not reveal any additional data.

Winehouse's death vividly recalled the death of the great guitarist Jimi Hendrix, who was also found dead in one of the apartments in the English capital. He choked on vomit after an overdose of sleeping pills, but there were other rumors about the death of the guitarist, for example, that he was deliberately poisoned. As with Winehouse, no definitive cause of death has been established.

On July 26, 2011, Amy Winehouse was cremated. The funeral took place at the Edgewerbury Lane Jewish cemetery, where the star's grave is adjacent to her grandmother's.

The fans of the performer, having received the tragic news, literally blew up the Internet, and colleagues began to devote songs to the untimely departed star. On the day of the singer's death, the song was dedicated to her by the lead singer of U2 Bono. The song was called “Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of”. In Russia, Winehouse's death did not leave indifferent Zemfira, who left a mournful note on her page, and the Slot group (RIP song).

In December 2011 Winehouse's posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures was released, which included recordings from 2002-2011. In the very first week after the release, the disc broke into the top UK Albums Chart, and the singer's father sent all the funds from its sales to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which is designed to help victims of alcohol and drug addiction.

In 2014, a monument to the deceased star was unveiled in London's Camden.

In 2015, the documentary "Amy", directed by Asif Kapadia, was released. The film received many positive reviews, but the singer's father was critical of the work, saying that he was going to start his own project, which will be "more than just a film."
