Ronnie Wood remembers talking to Amy Winehouse. “We know you have vodka”

Ronnie Wood recalled the words she exchanged with the late singer Amy Winehouse before she died at 27 in 2011.

Guitarist and composer Ronnie Wood, from The Rolling Stones, spoke to The Sunday Times about the band's new album, "Foreign Tonges", and ended up remembering a conversation he had with the late singer, who had problems with alcohol addiction.

“ She said: “Oh, Ronnie, what am I going to do?” And I'd say, "Look, everybody knows you have vodka in the water bottle. Control yourself and get on stage”. But if you could get her to stay there, it would be great,” he said. 

“ I feel sad because she didn't live her life to the end. It was like saying goodbye to Billie Holiday again,” he added, recalling the singer who died in July 1959.

Amy Winehouse, remember, was born on September 14, 1983 in the UK, and died on July 23, 2011, due to excessive alcohol intake.

At the time it was explained by the medical examiner that the artist’s “sudden and unexpected death” was due to accidental alcohol poisoning, an “involuntary consequence of the potentially fatal [alcoholic] levels” in her blood. Therefore, his death was considered accidental. 

In 2024, to remember, was released the film “Back to Black”, which is a cinematographic portrait of the singer’s personal and professional career, which was one of the most striking voices in the industry, having among the successful themes the song “You Know I’m No Good”, the theme “Rehab” or “Valerie”. 

This biographical film tells the whole story of the British artist, who did not live a sea of roses. From troubled relationships with her ex-husband to addiction that dictated her death, “Back to Black” has Marisa Abela as an actress who plays Amy. There are also names such as Eddie Marsan, Jack O’Connell, Lesley Manville, Sam Buchanan, Spike Fearn and many more.
