Amy Winehouse’s ex-husband denies ‘responsibility’ for singer’s death in rare interview Amy Winehouse’s ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, addressed his role in the late singer’s death during a rare interview, clarifying that he does not accept full blame for her passing. Speaking on the “We Need to Talk” podcast, Fielder-Civil acknowledged his involvement in her life but emphasized that he never intended to harm her. He stated, “I never shirk from any responsibility. If I’ve done something, I’ll put my hand up to it,” while noting that he had “a part to play” in her death from alcohol intoxication at age 27 in 2011. Fielder-Civil, who has reconciled with his role in her life, described Winehouse as a “very strong woman” with her own agency. He explained, “That is in no way at all disrespecting her by saying that, but Amy did what she wanted to do. And even though the drinking had started to hurt her, she carried on.” He admitted to introducing her to heroin during their on-again, off-again relationship but clarified that she had allegedly experimented with cocaine with a previous partner. “I never understood, do these people think that I forced Amy to do drugs? That’s just not what happened,” he insisted, adding, “I’m not shirking responsibility, but this idea of daily facilitating — no. I wasn’t the dealer.” Fielder-Civil also addressed his brother Freddy Civil’s death from a heroin overdose in 2021, stating, “I never blamed a person that gave me drugs for the first time. I’ve never tried to put that on anyone. Why would I?” He reiterated that he does not believe Amy was “bad” but stressed that she would not want him to claim it was all his fault. “She’d be saying, ‘Get it right, babe. Come on. Tell them the truth,’” he said.#amy_winehouse #blake_fielder_civil #we_need_to_talk #heroin_overdose #alcohol_intoxication
