She struggled with alcohol and drugs
The singer unfortunately struggled a lot with alcohol and drugs throughout her life.
Her former bodyguard, Andrew Morris, as well as her close friend Dale Davis, have both shared the final conversations they had with her before her passing, as we approach 15 years since her loss.
Morris shared the final words they exchanged
Morris shared the final words he exchanged with Winehouse, in which she seemed to be struggling with her fame.
The singer had been battling addiction in the wake of dealing with the problems in her marriage with Blake Fielder-Civil.
She was reflecting on her talent
Winehouse seems to have been reflecting on her own talent and fame in the final conversations with her loved ones.
Recalling the final exchange he had with Winehouse, Morris said, “She was showing me some clips on her laptop and she was singing. She said, ‘Boy, I can sing’ and I said, ‘Damn right you can sing’.”
The conversation was the day before her death
He added, per the Mirror, “She said, ‘If I could I would give it back just to walk down the street with no hassle’.”
The singer was found dead the next morning in her home in Camden Square, London.
Her friend also spoke to her the night before her death
Davis also shared his final conversation with Winehouse, which was the night before her tragic death. He was a close friend and long-time confidant of the singer.
He said, “I talked to her at 11.30pm, three hours before she went to bed for the last time, and she was on good form.”
Winehouse was reflecting on her talent to him too
Davis added, “Amy said, ‘Dale, I’ve just been watching myself on YouTube and I can sing, can’t I?’ I replied, ‘Of course you can sing! You’re the best… you know.’”
“I’m glad she went to bed with that thought. She needed to appreciate she could sing because she was very humble.”
Davis feels she might not have seen her talent
“Even at her level, a person can never see it in themselves. They probably think, ‘Is the adulation real or not?’ But to me, Amy is the first star of the millennium,” the close friend added.
Davis further opened up about his first impressions on Winehouse.
He spoke well of her character
“When we first met, she didn’t say much because she was quite an awkward character. But when I started working with her, you could see the love in her,” Davis said.

Davis compared her to Kurt Cobain

He even compared Winehouse’s talent to Kurt Cobain, he said, “There’s an element of Kurt Cobain in her. They both had very short careers but were massively impactful.”
