Janis Winehouse, the mother of the talented but ill-fated British singer Amy Winehouse, has just released a memoir titled “Loving Amy, A Mother’s Story”.
Through this memoir, fans have the opportunity to learn more about the artist Winehouse, as well as her rebellious personality since childhood. Janis Winehouse said that in this memoir, she wanted to tell about the unknown side of her daughter, before she lost her memory.
To get this memoir, Janis Winehouse reviewed her daughter’s personal notebooks, which included writings, lyrics and lists of things that haunted Amy Winehouse.
Janis said that through her notebooks, she noticed signs that “Winehouse suffered from a neurological disorder in her later years.”
Or in an interview with People magazine, Winehouse once admitted that she had Tourette syndrome with symptoms such as “involuntary tics” such as rapid eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, involuntarily brushing hair out of her eyes, slurring her words, grimacing, licking her lips; and also symptoms such as throat clearing, mumbling, screaming, coughing, and motor disorders.
However, Janis Winehouse affirmed that she did not believe in public speculation that her daughter wanted to commit suicide because Amy Winehouse always longed to have children one day.
Amy Jade Winehouse (born in 1983) is a talented British singer and songwriter. Her second studio album, 2006’s “Back to Black,” won five Grammys at the 50th Grammy Awards, breaking the record for most wins by a female artist, making Winehouse the first British female artist in history to win five Grammys.
She won three Ivor Novello Awards in 2004 and 2007 for “Best Contemporary Song,” for “Stronger Than Me” and “Rehab,” and in 2008 for “Best Song Musically and Lyrically” for “Love Is a Losing Game.” She also won a Brit Award for “Best British Female Artist” and was nominated for “Best British Album” for Back to Black.
On 23 July 2011, Winehouse was found dead face down in her bed in her Camden home, alone after weeks of alcohol withdrawal. She was buried at Edgwarebury cemetery in North London (UK)./.
