Blake Fielder-Civil on his wife Amy Winehouse's death: 'Was a drug addict, made mistakes but didn't cause her death'

Blake Fielder-Civil and Amy Winehouse were a much-talked about couple that got married in 2007 but divorced merely two years after. It was widely reported the two of them had a tumultuous relationship that caused the separation; and Winehouse passed away due to alcohol poisoning shortly after their divorce. In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Civil opened up on the same. He said, “It’s devastating she’s not here. I think about her a lot.” He added that he did make mistakes in the relationship and marriage but didn’t cause her death. He revealed, “But for me personally, I’ve needed to stop carrying that cross on my own. I’ve carried that burden myself for over 10 years. I feel, to be honest, that I’m the only person within that story that’s ever held any accountability, that’s ever tried to say, ‘Yep, I made some huge mistakes.” On being a drug addict I was a 20-something-year-old drug addict. So I had absolutely no idea how to make myself clean, let alone somebody else who was a big cog in a machine for a record label, and there were vested interests in Amy carrying on performing. On Amy Winehouse She was a fragile soul. I think that fragility there is what people connected with in the albums and the songwriting. Amy’s death Winehouse was found dead at her home at the age of 27 in July 2011. Her family, with whom she was extremely close, were in talks to create a musical documenting the singer’s life, reported dailymail.co.uk. “A musical celebrating her life and music is being talked about for the near future. It is something I’d really like to happen and I’ve said I’m happy for it to go ahead,” Winehouse’s father Mitch told The Sun newspaper back in 2017.
