Amy Winehouse’s mother never expected her to live into her thirties.
The Grammy-winning singer was 27 when she passed away on July 23, 2011 at her home in Camden, London.
She had stormed music charts with her studio albums Frank (2003) and Back to Black (2006) but at the height of her fame stories about Winehouse’s substance abuse ruled headlines.
A coroner ruled the star “died as a result of alcohol toxicity” and recorded a verdict of death by misadventure.
The star’s blood alcohol level was found to be five times the legal UK drink-driving limit. It was also above a level which is deemed fatal.
Nearly two years after her death, Janis Winehouse admits her daughter always seemed destined for a short life.
