NME music magazine called the documentary "touching if defensive", saying it was a "sweet tribute to a daughter, friend and mercurial talent". But The Financial Times was more sceptical, writing that Winehouse's parents and especially "lime-light-loving father Mitch were front and centre in her career".

At one point in the documentary, Mitch smiles and is "seemingly oblivious" as he watches a clip in which Winehouse duets with him while "embarrassingly drunk", it adds. Her messy private life apart, Winehouse was one of the "icons who changed popular music forever", NME wrote.

Winehouse "looked the part" and "could perform live with scary aplomb" as well as being an "incredible songwriter", said the former Babyshambles singer.

The award-winning artist, famous for hits including Rehab from the critically acclaimed album Back to Black, was discovered by police in the late afternoon. Her death was being treated on Saturday night as "unexplained" but sources said she had died of a drugs overdose.

On arrival officers found the body of a year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. Winehouse was last seen with her goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield, earlier last week when the teenager performed at the iTunes festival.

Tributes began to pour in to one of the most celebrated and troubled British artists of recent times. Mark Ronson, who produced Back to Black , said: "She was my musical soulmate and like a sister to me. This is one of the saddest days of my life.

Singer and actress Kelly Osbourne wrote: "i cant even breath right now, im crying so hard i just lost 1 of my best friends. She was such a lovely person and, to be honest, I don't think fame agreed with her. She was an ordinary girl at heart.

Gloria Woods, 26, who works for a record label, said: "There will never be another voice like that in our generation. That December, she pulled herself together and flew to Russia to perform at a private New Year's Eve party for a billionaire oligarch. The long road back starts in Moscow.

On Jan. Not long after, once she was back in England, Blake Wood "American Blake," Mitch called him called him to say he'd been Skyping with Amy and she'd had a seizure. She had no memory of it, which is apparently not unusual, and Mitch took her to the hospital for observation. One morning in February, he went to his daughter's house to find she'd already had multiple drinks that day.

But still, he felt, her bad days seemed to be growing fewer and further between. It was a bad day later that month when Amy was booed onstage in the United Arab Emirates. In March , Winehouse cut herself again, about a week after Fielder-Civil was arrested on charges of burglary and firearm possession.

He was sentenced in June to 32 months in prison. She also returned to the studio that month to cut a cover of "Body and Soul" for Bennett's Duets II album, which turned out to be her last recording.

She went back to the hospital in April to be treated for detox complications and she finished the month trying to stick to her program. Then she was readmitted to the London Clinic on May 11, and her blood test showed high levels of potassium and glucose, which the doctor warned could lead to heart problems. She was back to drinking the daylight away on May Basically, this portion of Mitch Winehouse's memoir reads like a hospital log, but as told by a distressed, attentive father.

Winehouse's last performance was in Belgrade that June, and despite having been largely clean for a couple weeks, she got drunk before heading out onstage for an agonizing show that lasted 15 minutes longer than her usual minute set.

Her team canceled the rest of her scheduled gigs and she returned to London on June She had turned a sober eye on what happened in Belgrade and again told her dad she "really, really" wanted to stop drinking. As much as Mitch could tell, Winehouse stopped drinking for the rest of June and when he saw her on July 10 and July 14, she was sober and in good spirits. On July 20, she went to the iTunes Festival at the Roundhouse in Camden to see her friend and protegee Dionne Bromfield , the first artist signed to Winehouse's Lioness label, sing and ended up onstage dancing.

Months later, Mitch's manager told him that he'd seen Amy at the show, and that she'd gone up to him, patted him on the stomach and said, "'Look after my dad. Mitch Winehouse last saw his daughter on July 21, He was flying to New York the next day but she insisted he come over to look at some family photographs she'd unearthed.

That night she was "tipsy," her security guard Andrew Morris recalled, but she was singing and playing drums in her room. When Andrew checked on her at 10 a. BST on July 23, she appeared to be sleeping.

Five hours later, she hadn't moved. Officially, she died of accidental alcohol poisoning , or "misadventure," as the coroner ruled it at the inquest. Her blood-alcohol level was. Two large empty vodka bottles and one small were found in her house. Several days later, Reg Traviss, who took Amy's cat, Katie , home to live with him, told The Sun , "I can't describe what I am going through and I want to thank so much all of the people who have paid their respects and who are mourning the loss of Amy, such a beautiful, brilliant person and my dear love.

I have lost my darling who I loved very much. Christina Romete, who had treated her at the London Clinic, said at the inquest that October.

But it's unclear if anything registered about how to treat our young super-stars, most of whom are more intertwined than ever with their fans thanks to social media and prey to the whims of online feuds and outrage culture. It was a lot when Amy was alive, and it's more now.

Ultimately, Winehouse's death was an accident, albeit one that seemed tragically inevitable. She's been posthumously humanized more than most with the help of her family, and, any controversy aside, projects like the Oscar-winning documentary Amy— which her parents, who participated in this summer's BBC Two documentary Reclaiming Amy , have disavowed. Yet while the appreciation for Winehouse's musical output is endless, we're also left with an even greater sense of just how unfairly preordained her death turned out to be.

Fans adored her music and wanted more from her. But at the same time, people also ended up expecting her to implode—almost in a cartoonish, TV-death sort of way, as no one was actually hoping that would happen—and then she did. Her year-old body couldn't take it anymore. Winehouse propagated her own myth of the irreparably damaged artist from the beginning, telling The Guardian in , "If you're a musician and you have things you want to get out, you write music.

You don't want to be settled, because when you're settled you might as well call it a day. So we'll never know if Amy Winehouse would have eventually realized that the two didn't have to be mutually exclusive, that perhaps one day she too could be "settled" without creative consequence. In the meantime, she didn't suffer for her art so much as figure that, since she was suffering, she may as well make art. She told E! News in that she didn't care if she was getting a reputation for being difficult, or that her personal life was making headlines.
