The movie,<\/a> which has been helmed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, chronicles Winehouse\u2019s life and career<\/a>, focusing on the troubled star\u2019s legacy, relationships and tragic passing.<\/span><\/p>\n The singer\u2019s death from alcohol poisoning in 2011 isn\u2019t actually depicted in the biopic, however, with the film concluding with a sober Winehouse moving to Camden and hoping to make a fresh start.<\/p>\n So, what happened to the singer? Read on for everything you need to know about Amy Winehouse\u2019s story in real life.<\/p>\n The singer shot to fame in her early 20s thanks to her best-selling album Back to Black, but spent much of her career struggling with drug and alcohol addiction as well as long-term bulimia.<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking about how her life in the spotlight exacerbated her struggles, Winehouse\u2019s best friend Tyler James told The Times<\/a> in 2021: <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Amy was a girl in her 20s suffering from addiction<\/span>, and everybody was a part of it. Everybody was watching it.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you go to rehab, you have to be the strongest you\u2019ve ever been in your life, when you are the weakest you\u2019ve ever been in your life. And she had to go through that in front of people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Winehouse managed to kick her drug habit in the final years of her life and was also managing to overcome her addiction to alcohol, but i<\/span>t was an alcohol relapse that ultimately took her life in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n Her step-mum Jane Winehouse, who had known Amy since she was two, previously told <\/span>The Independent<\/a> that Amy \u201cdid get off drugs\u201d before the \u201calcohol sadly kicked in\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n She added: \u201cShe did that pretty much herself. Towards the end, the gaps \u2013 the periods of sobriety \u2013 were getting longer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Paramedics discovered Winehouse in her flat in Camden Town in north London on 23rd July 2011. <\/span>An inquest into her death later found she had died of alcohol poisoning after a period of abstinence.<\/span><\/p>\n Following Back to Black\u2019s release in cinemas, Winehouse\u2019s long-time friend and collaborator Dale Davis revealed they spoke hours before her death.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI talked to her at 11:30pm, three hours before she went to bed for the last time, and she was on good form,\u201d he recalled. \u201cAmy said, \u2018Dale, I\u2019ve just been watching myself on YouTube and I can sing, can\u2019t I?\u2019 I replied, \u2018Of course you can sing! You\u2019re the best\u2026 you know.’\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He continued to <\/span>The Sun<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m glad she went to bed with that thought. She needed to appreciate she could sing because she was very humble. Even at her level, a person can never see it in themselves. They probably think, \u2018Is the adulation real or not?\u2019 But to me, Amy is the first star of the millennium.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n For support and information on alcohol and drugs addiction, you can visit talktofrank.com<\/a> or find ways to get help on the NHS website<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat happened to Amy Winehouse?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
