The Winehouse Family Releases Defensive Statement About Amy Winehouse’s Death By Alcohol Poisoning
Since August, Amy Winehouse‘s family has maintained that their daughter died of alcohol withdrawal, which lends her death something of a saintly air: The singer, long besieged by problems with addiction, left this world fighting those damaging habits.

So, here are some of the most bizarre quotes from the interview: More »
