-Have a lick. Come here and lick it.

-GILBERT: I'm trying to talk.

00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:43,585
No one wants to lick
your slobbering lollipop.

- Lauren, just lick it.
-Here's me.

AMY: I was singing with a little jazz unit,
The National Youth Jazz Orchestra.
19
00:01:37,681 --> 00:01:38,890
Must have been about 16.
20
00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:42,686
And I just loved jazz.

00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:44,479
Dinah Washington,
22
00:01:45,022 --> 00:01:47,524
Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett.
23
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:51,777
I learnt to sing from
listening to stuff like Monk,
24
00:01:51,862 --> 00:01:55,991
and a lot of soloists as well,
rather than just listening to singing.
25
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:57,992
I learnt from everything, really.

00:02:14,259 --> 00:02:16,135
So singing has always been
important to me,
28
00:02:16,219 --> 00:02:18,888
but I never thought,
"I'll end up singing. I'll be a singer."
29
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:23,643
I just thought I'm lucky that it's something
I can always do if I want to.

I'm so lucky like that.
31
00:02:27,105 --> 00:02:29,899
But I didn't think
it would be a career choice.

00:03:03,642 --> 00:03:07,604
for a promotions company
owned by Simon Fuller.
44
00:03:08,313 --> 00:03:12,608
I just started to try and kind of
blaggat myself as a talent scout.

he was with Nicky Shymansky,

"My friend Amy sings jazz and she's great."

And Nick, he said to me,
"Do you want some studio time?"

And I said, "For what?"

"Well, if you write songs and make a record,

"get a record deal."

SHYMANSKY: We'd recorded
quite a few demo recordings,
73
00:04:56,254 --> 00:05:00,754
and I started to talk about
whether she'd ever consider writing.
74
00:05:01,343 --> 00:05:04,971
She said she's not sure about writing songs,
but she's written a lot of poems.

she'd been writing songs,
77
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,436
but they were very personal songs.

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)
79
00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:51,268
AMY: I wouldn't write anything
unless it was directly personal to me,
80
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,686
just 'cause I wouldn't
be able to tell the story right,
81
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:55,813
because I wouldn't have done it.
82
00:05:55,939 --> 00:05:59,233
Even though some of it
is personal in a sad way,
83
00:05:59,317 --> 00:06:00,735
I'd never let it just be that.
84
00:06:00,819 --> 00:06:03,530
I'll always put a punch line in the song.
85
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:05,740

GUY MOOT". Someone gave me a CD,
two songs,
88
00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:18,920
and they weren't necessarily
what you call hit songs,
89
00:06:19,004 --> 00:06:22,924
but they conveyed an emotion
that just touched me.
90
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:29,259
When you have that as an artist,
you usually have a story to tell behind it.
91
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:32,099
But it's a big leap of faith.
92
00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:36,270
I think my boss even questioned the deal
because we were really committing to giving

143
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:55,779
the music that was in the pop charts,
or the...
144

To challenge myself, you know,
151
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:15,048
to see what I could write, or, you know,

just because there was nothing else there
that I could listen to at the time.

you know, it was very...

was to really just put her wit into her songs.

When I heard her sing in front of me,
I could tell she was really like a jazz singer.
345
00:26:16,575 --> 00:26:19,911
She had the stylings
of a 65-year-old jazz singer

who knew the ropes up and down.

I was out in England.
356
00:26:57,157 --> 00:27:00,952
I'm a big jazz fan,
and I really liked what she was doing.
357
00:27:01,036 --> 00:27:02,829
I thought it was unique,
I thought it was edgy

and sincere.
359
00:27:04,206 --> 00:27:06,291
And that's the thing I like most about Amy
360
00:27:06,375 --> 00:27:07,959
is that she didn't have any airs.

SHYMANSKY: In between all this, she decided
475
00:33:18,288 --> 00:33:22,375
that she wanted me to leave 19
with Simon Fuller
476
00:33:22,459 --> 00:33:24,043
to go and manage her.
477
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:27,964

00:33:30,509 --> 00:33:34,763

And that was our relationship.
485
00:33:58,954 --> 00:34:03,124
I used to like to sabotage myself,
and I think Amy liked to sabotage herself.
486

Maybe that was our nature.
487
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:13,797
I used to ask her why was she promiscuous
and why she was more like a man with sex.
488
00:34:14,511 --> 00:34:18,139
It's indicative of somebody
that's had a traumatic event,
489
00:34:18,223 --> 00:34:20,225
maybe sexually, themselves.
490
00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:22,935
Sort of made sense to me,
from the way she was.
491
00:34:24,646 --> 00:34:26,064
She'd just say, "it's nothing.
492
00:34:26,147 --> 00:34:29,567
"I weren't abused when I was a kid,
nothing like that."
493
00:34:29,651 --> 00:34:34,151
And she said her dad leaving her mum
was what caused this.
494
00:34:35,448 --> 00:34:37,950
And then not really seeing her dad.
495

508
00:36:52,168 --> 00:36:53,377
to be somewhere with someone.

519
00:37:14,399 --> 00:37:15,691
because no one is here today.

549
00:38:30,558 --> 00:38:32,685
All of a sudden she went to me,

00:38:33,186 --> 00:38:37,440
"Lauren, listen to this message.
This is a message from Blake."

I didn't want to leave my girlfriend,

00:38:43,571 --> 00:38:46,240
and we'd probably be better as friends.

GILBERT: She was obsessing
over these text messages.
554
00:38:53,122 --> 00:38:57,543
He wanted nothing to do with her,
and she was obsessing over it.

All she wanted
was for him to want to see her.

Then she got her own back.

GILBERT: The person that lived opposite
in the little court had Juliette's number.
561
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,274
And had called Juliette up to say,
"Amy's fallen over,

"and she's hurt her head."
563
00:40:03,735 --> 00:40:05,445
So, we've gone round there.
564
00:40:05,528 --> 00:40:08,072
It looked like people had
been squatting in her house.
565
00:40:08,156 --> 00:40:10,491
It stank, it was dirty.
566
00:40:10,575 --> 00:40:12,243
And she was lying on the bed,
567
00:40:12,327 --> 00:40:15,163
and she had this golf ball
coming out of her head.
568
00:40:15,246 --> 00:40:18,457
So we worked till, like, 3:00 in the morning,
and we cleaned the whole house up.

and it was like,
"This is getting out of control.
575

"We need to get her some help."
576

and they really want to kind of take it on.

Technically, I sort of kidnapped her.

00:41:09,217 --> 00:41:10,801
I picked her up
579
00:41:10,885 --> 00:41:13,971
and I thought,
"I'm driving you to the middle of nowhere,

00:41:14,055 --> 00:41:17,641
"and we're gonna sit there
until you acknowledge what's going on."
581
00:41:19,352 --> 00:41:23,064
And drove her to Black Park in Iver.
582
00:41:26,109 --> 00:41:28,402
And it started off with her sort of laughing,
583
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:30,237
"You're such an idiot."
584
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:35,326
And then it turned into, "Don't be a prick."
And she kicked my car.
585
00:41:37,078 --> 00:41:39,997
And then she just broke down, eventually,
586
00:41:40,081 --> 00:41:41,540
opened up about everything.
587
00:41:41,624 --> 00:41:43,751
Said she thinks she's got a problem,
588
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:47,171

She agreed to go to rehab.

I took her to see the rehab guy.
592
00:41:56,931 --> 00:42:00,809
She was like, "I don't want to talk about it,
I'll go if my dad thinks I should go."
593
00:42:02,437 --> 00:42:03,771
We'd spoken to Mitch.

00:42:03,855 --> 00:42:06,232
We'd set it all up,
595
00:42:06,315 --> 00:42:08,608
and she turned into a seven-year-old child.
596
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:13,113
Sat on her father's lap
and put her arm round him.

"She doesn't need to go to rehab,
she's fine."

"You're all right, don't need to go."

678
00:49:19,999 --> 00:49:22,209
AMY: When I started writing
the first song about Blake,
679
00:49:22,293 --> 00:49:24,295
the other songs just wrote themselves.
680
00:49:24,378 --> 00:49:26,338
I really was on a roll.
681
00:49:26,422 --> 00:49:30,092
Because I had these feelings,
I had these words fluttering around in me.
682
00:49:30,176 --> 00:49:32,094
You write a song,
you have to remember how you felt,
683
00:49:32,178 --> 00:49:33,470
you have to remember
what the weather was like,
684
00:49:33,554 --> 00:49:35,931
you have to remember
what his neck smelled like,
685
00:49:36,015 --> 00:49:38,142

stories about Blake
688
00:49:47,401 --> 00:49:51,780

689
00:49:51,864 --> 00:49:54,533

690
00:49:54,617 --> 00:49:57,786

in two or three hours.

RONSON: It was just one
of those serendipitous things,
702
00:51:51,108 --> 00:51:53,777
like I just caught her at that
magic moment, you know?
703
00:51:53,861 --> 00:51:55,779
And she was just ready to get it going,
704
00:51:55,863 --> 00:51:58,073
and that's why I couldn't
understand what everyone else
705
00:51:58,157 --> 00:52:02,619
was saying about this
procrastinating, troubled artist.
706
00:52:06,415 --> 00:52:10,419
DARCUS BEESE: I went out to New York
to kind of hear what they were doing.
707
00:52:10,502 --> 00:52:12,462
And the day I was flying out,
708
00:52:12,546 --> 00:52:16,675
I got a call from management saying that
Amy's nan had fallen ill.
709
00:52:16,759 --> 00:52:20,220
And she wanted to get straight
back to her nan.
710
00:52:35,861 --> 00:52:37,112
(AMY SPEAKING)
711
00:52:50,334 --> 00:52:53,086
JANE". Cynthia used to look after Amy.
712
00:52:53,754 --> 00:52:57,174
She was like the mother that I didn't have.
713
00:52:58,967 --> 00:53:03,429
My own mother was
not really motherly to me.
714
00:53:05,391 --> 00:53:09,891
So, Amy and Cynthia were very, very close.
715
00:53:13,315 --> 00:53:15,942
MITCHELL: My mum died May 5th, 2006.
716
00:53:16,026 --> 00:53:18,194
She had lung cancer.
717
00:53:21,490 --> 00:53:25,990
ASHBY: Cynthia was a very strong person
in her life and used to tell her how it is.
718
00:53:26,453 --> 00:53:28,455
So, it was horrible for her.
719
00:53:30,124 --> 00:53:32,626
That killed her inside.
720

Okay.
726
00:53:54,481 --> 00:53:58,067
BEESE: We were making the back end of
the record, and we were at Metropolis studios,
727
00:53:58,152 --> 00:54:00,696
and Amy had bits of vocal to finish.
728
00:54:02,448 --> 00:54:05,659
Have I got a new drink?
Did they bring another drink?
729

It's quite fun, really.

00:54:08,370 --> 00:54:11,539
I've never been filmed like this.
I've never done it before.
731
00:54:13,333 --> 00:54:16,419
BEESE: And she was having
a couple of whiskey and Cokes.
732
00:54:16,503 --> 00:54:18,713
We had broke for lunch.
733
00:54:18,797 --> 00:54:23,297
Amy had ordered this massive plate of food,
and she had big dessert as well.
734
00:54:24,803 --> 00:54:28,765
She finished the whole thing off,
and she disappeared for a while.
735
00:54:28,849 --> 00:54:33,349
And 45 minutes later,
came back a bit kind of dazed.
736
00:54:38,192 --> 00:54:41,278
And the studio manager
pulled me out of the session
737
00:54:41,361 --> 00:54:44,614
and said, "Look, I need you
to come and see something."
738
00:54:44,698 --> 00:54:49,198
She took me to the women's toilets,
and Amy had thrown everything up
739
00:54:49,286 --> 00:54:51,538
and literally redecorated the toilet.
740
00:54:52,664 --> 00:54:55,166
She'd obviously been wiping her face,
741
00:54:55,250 --> 00:54:58,336
and all the mascara had been
rubbed off on the towels.
742
00:54:59,379 --> 00:55:03,132
And that's when I kind of realized
that something serious was wrong.
743
00:55:07,054 --> 00:55:10,599
I had a toffee fudge, but I ate it.
744
00:55:13,602 --> 00:55:16,646
JANE: When she was probably 15,
745
00:55:16,730 --> 00:55:18,148
she one day said,
746
00:55:18,232 --> 00:55:20,817
"I've got this really great diet, Mum.
747
00:55:20,901 --> 00:55:25,238
"I eat what I want,
and then I just bring it all up."
748
00:55:26,448 --> 00:55:28,408
I know I'm a pig.
749
00:55:29,076 --> 00:55:31,995
I know I'm a pig. I just can't help it.
750
00:55:32,955 --> 00:55:36,416
JANIS: I obviously did not think
that deeply of it.
751
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:38,877
My feeling was it would pass.
752
00:55:40,629 --> 00:55:43,006
And then she told Mitchell about it.
753
00:55:43,966 --> 00:55:47,010
He also sort of pushed it aside,
754
00:55:47,094 --> 00:55:48,887
not taking it seriously.
755
00:55:51,181 --> 00:55:53,516
That basically is bulimia.
756
00:55:54,726 --> 00:55:57,270
And it doesn't pass.

762

It's a lot more, uh...
763
00:56:13,245 --> 00:56:14,246
I don't want to say more raw,
764
00:56:14,329 --> 00:56:16,998
but it's not got all the clever,
like, jazz chords.
765
00:56:17,082 --> 00:56:18,333
It's not really like that now.
766

a lot of garage bands.
767
00:56:21,461 --> 00:56:23,004
That's kind of what it's like.
It's a lot more guitar...
768
00:56:23,088 --> 00:56:26,216
I mean, I'm a guitarist, I've been listening
to a lot more guitar bands.

771
00:56:30,762 --> 00:56:33,556
Would you go as far as to say
it's a bit more accessible
772
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:34,724
than your debut?
773
00:56:34,808 --> 00:56:36,684
I'd say it was more accessible.
774
00:56:36,810 --> 00:56:40,730
It's not necessarily more poppy,
but, you know, jazz is quite an exclusive...
775

"Can't do that, she's got a tour booked."

ASHBY: So I went into her room
and I stole her passport,
1017
01:17:10,668 --> 01:17:13,545
and then I got told,
"What have you done that for?
1018

"She gotta go to America.
Why have you done that?"

01:17:29,812 --> 01:17:32,481
the doctor's found out
she's got heroin in her blood again.
1024
01:17:35,568 --> 01:17:38,779
GILBERT: When I found outwith the girls
that she was taking heroin,
1025
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,824
and we went to this hotel room
that she was staying in,
1026
01:17:41,907 --> 01:17:44,910
and Amy just sat there
and didn't really say anything.
1027
01:17:44,994 --> 01:17:47,788
Her manager then said something like,
1028
01:17:47,872 --> 01:17:50,457
"Girls, there are lots of professionals,
1029
01:17:50,541 --> 01:17:54,002

that function on this stuff."

and get the shows on the road,

I'd kind of done what I'm supposed to do,
1032
01:18:04,471 --> 01:18:08,224

FEMALE REPORTER: Amy Winehouse has
pulled out of a string of concerts
1035
01:18:16,609 --> 01:18:19,987
in the US and Canada next month
because of health issues.
1036

The 23-year-old...
1037
01:18:21,113 --> 01:18:22,948
Now she's one of Britain's brightest talents,
1038
01:18:23,032 --> 01:18:26,201
but the singer Amy Winehouse
has canceled yet more gigs.
1039
01:18:26,285 --> 01:18:27,327
This time in Norway,
1040
01:18:27,411 --> 01:18:30,330
after she was admitted
to hospital in London yesterday.
1041
01:18:30,414 --> 01:18:33,333
Her record company say
it was just down to severe exhaustion.
1042
01:18:33,417 --> 01:18:36,878
But with her reputation
for hard drinking, drugs, and...
1043
01:18:36,962 --> 01:18:40,006
CHIP SOMERS: The Amy link came about
through Russell Brand,
1044
01:18:40,090 --> 01:18:44,052
who was trying to get Amy
to come into rehab.
1045
01:18:44,136 --> 01:18:46,930
And then also Mitch had got involved.
1046
01:18:49,225 --> 01:18:53,725
And I first met Amy when she came
with Blake to be assessed for treatment.
1047
01:18:55,147 --> 01:18:58,692
It was very much being led by Blake,
although I did think
1048
01:18:58,776 --> 01:19:03,113
she was probably more willing to go
to rehab than he was.
1049
01:19:05,157 --> 01:19:07,325
She was a very vulnerable woman,
1050
01:19:07,785 --> 01:19:12,285
and I felt very clearly
that it was a common case of one person
1051
01:19:14,083 --> 01:19:17,461
having a situation that was
very beneficial to their using,
1052
01:19:17,544 --> 01:19:22,044
not wanting the other person to get better
for fear of losing the gravy train.
1053
01:19:24,969 --> 01:19:27,680
They were insistent
on doing rehab together,
1054
01:19:27,763 --> 01:19:31,016
which of course,
we would've considered to be disastrous.
1055
01:19:32,476 --> 01:19:34,269
I would personally find it almost unethical
1056
01:19:34,353 --> 01:19:37,022
to take the couple into treatment
at the same time.
1057
01:19:38,065 --> 01:19:40,275
But her management and Mitch
1058
01:19:40,359 --> 01:19:43,945
managed to find somewhere
where they could go together.

"Jules, this is so boring without drugs."

really happy for her,

of getting the most contemporary artists.

She could go for four weeks at a time
with no alcohol.
1445
01:51:45,949 --> 01:51:48,034

that she was the best
that she has ever been.

But she went to the Priory
in May to be checked,
1448
01:51:57,836 --> 01:52:02,215
and there were some very serious things
that were being spotted.
1449
01:52:03,133 --> 01:52:07,345
It was the cumulative effect
of drinking and bulimia.
1450
01:52:09,223 --> 01:52:13,723
She could feel perfectly fine
and have heart irregularities.
1451

01:58:51,958 --> 01:58:54,502
"Oh, my God! What's happened now?"
1515
01:58:54,586 --> 01:58:55,962
Because that's the first thing
that goes in my head,
1516
01:58:56,046 --> 01:58:57,130
and she just went, "Jules,"
1517
01:58:57,213 --> 01:59:00,299
and it was my Amy, completely normal.
1518
01:59:02,719 --> 01:59:05,638
And all she kept saying was,
and she'd never done this before,
1519
01:59:05,722 --> 01:59:07,223
she just kept saying, "Sorry."
1520
01:59:07,307 --> 01:59:09,642
it was like complete clarity
over the whole situation
1521
01:59:09,726 --> 01:59:11,144
of the nightmare of the past
1522
01:59:11,227 --> 01:59:13,103
however many years
that we'd just gone through.
1523
01:59:13,730 --> 01:59:16,232
"Jules, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
1524
01:59:16,316 --> 01:59:17,567
(VOICE BREAKING)
"I 'm so sorry, I 'm so sorry."
1525
01:59:17,692 --> 01:59:19,151
You know, like, when
you're a kid and you panic
1526
01:59:19,235 --> 01:59:21,070
that you've done something wrong,
1527
01:59:21,571 --> 01:59:23,322
and you want to just fix it there and then?
1528
01:59:23,406 --> 01:59:25,408
That's how it was.
1529
01:59:25,533 --> 01:59:28,744
I just wanted to go and grab her,
bring her back to me,
1530
01:59:28,870 --> 01:59:31,247
wrap her in my house, not let her out.
1531
01:59:33,083 --> 01:59:34,667
And she called me the next day,
1532
01:59:34,751 --> 01:59:37,503
and it was just so weird
hearing her talk normally,
1533
01:59:37,587 --> 01:59:41,757
because for so long we'd
just been pining for her to...
1534
01:59:41,883 --> 01:59:44,844
Like, I missed my best friend,
Lauren missed her best friend.
1535
01:59:44,928 --> 01:59:48,014
We just wanted to have
a normal conversation.
1536
01:59:49,265 --> 01:59:51,350
She just kept going, "Can I see you?
1537
01:59:51,434 --> 01:59:52,935
"Will Lauren speak to me?
Can we start again?"
1538
01:59:53,061 --> 01:59:54,854
I was like, "Of course we can.
We're always here.
1539
01:59:54,938 --> 01:59:58,191
"You know we are.
We've been waiting for you to talk to us."
1540
01:59:58,274 --> 02:00:00,025
And she said, "Well, I'm
going to call you tomorrow,"
1541
02:00:00,110 --> 02:00:01,778
and I was like, "Okay. I love you."
1542
02:00:01,903 --> 02:00:03,529
"I love you, too."

MORRIS: She just looked like
she was sleeping.
1545
02:00:28,388 --> 02:00:32,100
She was on top of the bed, just sleeping.
1546
02:00:35,270 --> 02:00:36,896
But she was gone.

WOMAN: Rest in peace, Amy!
1550
02:01:33,203 --> 02:01:34,579
ROMETE: Amy's blood-alcohol level
1551
02:01:34,662 --> 02:01:38,332
was four to five times higher
than drink-driving limits.
1552
02:01:38,416 --> 02:01:41,293
Maybe a combination of her eating disorders
1553
02:01:41,377 --> 02:01:45,214
and the alcohol, it just made her heart stop.
1554

BENNETT". She was one of the truest
jazz singers I ever heard.
1555
02:02:00,063 --> 02:02:04,563
To me, she should be treated
like Ella Fitzgerald, like Billie Holiday.
1556
02:02:05,443 --> 02:02:07,528
She had the complete gift.
1557
02:02:09,364 --> 02:02:11,449
If she had lived, I would've said,
1558
02:02:12,575 --> 02:02:15,369
"Slow down. You're too important.
1559
02:02:15,453 --> 02:02:18,330
"Life teaches you really how to live it,
1560
02:02:18,414 --> 02:02:20,707
"if you could live long enough."
