the author says "a resumption of heavy drinking killed the singer". Resumption is a good word that describes Amy Winehouses drinking. She stopped for a little while than would start drinking again and it was not a surprise that she died to me. "she stopped the use of illicit drugs in 2008" but started drinking heavily and started fighting her addiction. She was "abstinent" from drug use at various points in her life but couldn't completely shove it away. "praise for her singing was often eclipsed by lurid headlines about her destructive relationships and erratic behavior"
She was constantly attacked by the media and the public about her problems. "Winehouse herself turned to her tumultuous life and personal demons for music materials"
Her song Rehab was a good example of this and gives a good image of how she played off her image.
