Janis Winehouse had seen her daughter only the day before, she told the Sunday Mirror. She said Amy had seemed “out of it”, but told her mother “I love you” as they said goodbye.
Janis added: “Her passing so suddenly still hasn’t hit me.”
The Winehouse family join a succession of celebrities and music industry figures in paying tribute to the singer’s talent. Daptone Records, whose artists had worked with Winehouse on several occasions, issued a statement saying: “She was one of a kind and we were fortunate to have had the chance to make music with her.
She was always gracious and a pleasure to work with [...] It is a tragedy that she was taken from us so soon when she had much more music to give.
