Blake Fielder-Civil: I Can't Keep Shouldering The Blame For Amy's Death | Good Morning Britain

On what would have been Amy Winehouse’s 40th birthday, we are joined exclusively by her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. Married between May 2007 to August 2009, Amy and Blake enjoyed an intense and often tumultuous relationship across 7 years. One of their breakups led Amy to write one of the most iconic albums of all time, 'Back to Black', which she said was about the state of her relationship with Blake at the time. Winning her 5 Grammys, Amy dedicated her win to her 'Blake incarcerated' and said she'd never felt the way she felt about Blake, with anyone else in her life. This morning, Blake will reveal why he's no longer prepared to be cast as the villain, why others need to take responsibility for Amy's drug use/death, why he has to deal with countless death threats and why he doesn’t think a reconciliation with Amy’s father Mitch would work. Amy died in July 2011 from alcohol poisoning, with Blake in jail at the time. Upon hearing the news from prison guards, Blake collapsed and was put on suicide watch. Blake says he thinks about Amy all of the time and is often left jarred if he ever sees her on TV and on what would have been her 40th birthday, says he'll love her forever. A biopic on Amy, directed by Hollywood director Sam Taylor-Johnson, has also recently wrapped, with its release scheduled for early 2024. Titled 'Back to Black', the movie will delve into Amy's rise to stardom, iconic music as well as her marriage to Blake. Playing Blake will be Jack O'Connell, who Blake will say travelled to Leeds to meet with him before filming started.
