She was the pop star famed for her beehive, eccentric eyeliner and incredible vocals, whose ‘Back To Black’ album became one of the best selling records of the century. Ten years since Amy Winehouse’s tragic death, we’re hearing from the friend who was by her side throughout it all. Ahead of the release of his new book, Tyler James joins us to talk about connecting with Amy at school, living with her during her height of fame, and witnessing her devastating spiral of addiction and self-sabotage.

They were both lucky to have had each other, you can go through this life and never find someone who you have a bond like that with. He seems like an amazing guy.

I think Tyler was always in love with Amy even thought he claims he wasn't. His book was excellent. Mitch was pissed at Tyler for writing it but Mitch only cared about Mitch. I Love you Tyler! Hope you are doing well. Congrats on your 13 years of sobriety ❤.

Why does he speak more passionately about his friend than her own father spoke about her?

@rbchrys314 5 ай бұрын

Mitch is a grubby guy! When another interviewer asked her if there was anything he could've done differently he quickly said no. You could've been there for her growing up! He was absent then and that led to her obsession with Blake.

@rbchrys314 5 ай бұрын

He seems to be the only one who really loved and valued her. Not very many people in the press say many nice things about her. Maybe he wrote the book to paint her in a more positive light, since theres so much negativity about her…… I tend to be on the more cynical side of things myself as well, so maybe so.

Why wasn’t the song Rehab which celebrates addiction banned after her death? So much sentimental mush in this world. She was the best singer songwriter of the nineties as far as I’m concerned, but she was also wilfully rebellious and could be selfish, anyone with a brain will be aware the the song Rehab will encourage many more young deaths, why didn’t friends and family appeal for it to be taken down, rather than lots more sentimental mush quotes, why not do something sensible and responsible, why not consider others who will be likely to drawn into addiction and refuse help. Please no more brain dead woke interviews, no more documentaries that won’t mention obvious consequences of celebrating addiction.

@jammzy2959 8 ай бұрын

What does "woke" mean to you? It's actually not bad and your comment is the epitome of "woke" and the way it was intended to be us. Unsurprisingly, it means "awake" and "aware." You are obviously aware of the downsides of "celebrating addiction." Yes, your comment was obvious, tasteless and unnecessary but please stop using words just because everyone else uses them. Not everything is "woke."

All of the world has addictions not most of the world. But because people are suffering doesn’t mean we need to celebrate it, that’s not a reasonable or a sane idea. Also some addictions are far less impactful on society and individuals than others. You don’t often hear about people with a sugar addiction breaking into someone else’s home to steal their donuts. Or youngsters over dosing on Nintendo games. But you frequently hear on the news about lives destroyed by drugs, especially hard drugs. @@barbarajackson7488
