Amy Winehouse: The Rise And Fall Of A Music Diva, Her Struggles With Drugs, Alcohol & Her Demons.
Amy Winehouse: The Rise and Fall of a Music Diva, Her Struggles with Drugs, Alcohol & Her DemonsWith her signature beehive hairdo, cat-eye makeup, and unmistakable vocals, Amy Winehouse was destined to become an iconic singer-songwriter of the 2000s. But her meteoric rise to fame was matched by an equally turbulent downfall into addiction and personal turmoil that made her a tragic cautionary tale.
This unvarnished biography provides an unflinching look at the tumultuous life of the Grammy-winning artist behind modern classics like "Rehab" and "Back to Black." From her early days absorbing soulful influences like Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington, to selling millions of albums and becoming the first British female performer to win five Grammys in a single night, Winehouse's raw talent scorched across every song she recorded.
Yet behind the signature powerhouse vocals and vintage style was a woman engaged in a internal war, struggling with substance abuse, mental health issues, and toxic personal relationships that propelled her down a devastating path. No intervention from loved ones, rehab professionals or even jail sentences for drug charges could rescue Winehouse from the insatiable demons that led to her shocking death from alcohol poisoning at age 27.
With haunting detail and exclusive insights from those closest to her, this definitive biography captures the dizzying highs and lows of Winehouse's roller coaster ride through fame - the inspirations, the artistry, the burnout, and the loss of a generation-defining voice silenced too soon. It's an essential examination of a complex, one-of-a-kind creative force and the perfect encapsulation of Winehouse herself: "I'm not a girl trying to be a star. I'm just a girl who sings."
