Singer Amy Winehouse tried to kill herself two months before she died in 2011, says her former husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Fielder-Civil revealed that the singer had slashed herself in a bid to commit suicide just eight weeks before she died aged 27. Winehouse and Fielder-Civil were married for two years until their divorce in 2009. Then he started dating Sarah Aspin. “I told her I couldn’t talk, as Sarah was having my baby and hung up. In hindsight I should have known that would really hurt her. Amy would have loved to have a child, yet it was Sarah having a baby with me. But I was caught up in the moment,” a newspaper quoted him. “The day after, I phoned her to apologise and say Happy Anniversary and she told me she had cut herself really badly. Amy was a serious danger to herself,” he added.

Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning but Fielder-Civil doesn’t believe it was an accident. “I suspect Amy’s death was a suicide. After years of drinking she must have known she was drinking far beyond what she could handle. Maybe she expected someone to come in and stop her, take the bottle away. Instead she was left alone to drink herself to death,” he said. “The people around her were so busy celebrating our divorce and her giving up heroin that they didn’t see how much work still had to be done. Every person close to Amy, including me, deserves a share of the blame.”
