To say Amy Winehouse and ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil had a rocky (not to mention violent and drug-fueled) marriage would be an understatement. But just because the jailed 29-year-old former video production assistant had moved on to girlfriend Sarah Aspin, the mother of his son Jack, doesn’t mean he wasn’t crushed to discover his ex had passed away over the weekend. The Sun reports that Blake collapsed when prison authorities at Leeds Crown Court, where he’s serving time, informed him of Winehouse’s perhaps not-so-unpredictable death.
“I’m beyond inconsolable … my tears won’t dry,” Fielder-Civil apparently said to girlfriend Aspin, who was granted a visit with her son’s father. She then gave an interview to The Sun. “I will never ever again feel the love I felt for her. Everybody who knew me and knew Amy knew the depth of our love. I can’t believe she’s dead.”
Blake began a near-three-year sentence last month at the jail. Sarah, who ironically turned 33 the day Amy died, told the publication the following:
“He is devastated and shattered. He just can’t take it in that she’s dead and he’ll never see her again. Blake rang me on Saturday after the prison authorities told him she’d died. I just couldn’t console him. He was in total shock. Blake is the father of our son. But I saw him and Amy together and I know they were really in love and they were soulmates. She always loved him and he always loved her — but it was just never going to work. Basically they couldn’t live with each other and they could not live without each other. It is hard for me knowing he still loved her, but I do understand his feelings.”
Amy and Blake were married in Miami in May 2007, and divorced just over two years later. During the marriage, Fielder-Civil was sent to prison for seven months for the offense of perverting the course of justice.
One of Winehouse’s most famous songs about her relationship with her ex-husband is her Back To Black global hit single “You Know I’m Not Good”:
Gee, Im soooooo shocked – NOT! Really, why do we mourn over people who destroy their bodies, minds and relationships then we act like it was such a surprise – drugs are so not it!
Well, I am not shocked either – but to mourn a human life is human nature. Drugs got ahold of her and money made them easy to get – I guess unless you have ever had yourself taken over by drugs you wouldn’t know the feeling.
Sue, come of your high horse. It’s cos of pple like you that Amy sang in Rehab”… I never want to drink again, I just need a friend…” The world is full of pple who think they are better than others. The issue here isn’t the drugs, but the underlying issue(pain). People try to numb their pain by going into drugs because they don’t know any better instead of looking down on people be glad you don’t have addictions and pray for those who do.
I hope you never have to deal with addiction or any mental illness…which you seem to suffer from a mental illness called close mindedness…which you actually have more of a choice in fighting. Trust me you should look into getting help for your problem. Because even though you have a mental illness, you WILL die one day and I pray that people mourn you.
“Sue” (an ordinary name that suits your ignorant attitude)
The world will mourn Amy and continue to mourn people who die because of addiction because it is a disease. Idiot. Unfortunately for Amy, her brilliance and incredible ability to create music expressed her addictive ways of living. She was in too deep and people like you on their high-horse thinking “I’m so above addiction and addicts are stupid” disgust me. You went as far as to say we shouldn’t mourn her death? Newsflash, Sue. The world will forever mourn the death of Amy Winehouse because she was a musical genius. She was an innovator and achieved multiple Grammys because she was a powerhouse of talent. When you, Sue, do anything in terms of shaping the world somehow, or leave an imprint to the effect of Amy Winehouse on music- please let us know. Seems to me your only contribution is leaving a cruel and ignorant comment below an article on the Internet.
