Amy Winehouse Came “Close to Death” Twice, Says Dad


Mitch Winehouse, Amy Winehouse’s dad, told People mag that Amy has almost died two times in her “worst moments.” According to his commentary for the documentary Saving Amy, the media had a field day with her “downfall” but “They didn’t see her lying in bed for days in a dark room.”

Mitch told Hello! magazine that “She was close to death twice. We have been working a lot to get her to where she is right now.” He stated that his daughter is now drug-free in the documentary, in which Amy’s mother Janis also appears.

Mr. Winehouse wasn’t just opening up about Amy’s recovery and downfall, however: he also talked about Amy’s impending divorce from Blake Fielder-Civil. He told Hello! that “I had to call Amy before she heard about it from someone else. She asked me, ‘Daddy, why does he want to divorce me?’ I said, ‘You know I don’t like him, but I have to admit that your behavior with another man is not what marriage is all about.'”

Well, he’s on the right page, albeit a very lax-sounding one. Perhaps he needs to treat Amy with kid gloves during her recovery?
