Amy Winehouse Covers Vibe Magazine

Late singer Amy Winehouse is on the latest issue of Vibe magazine. 
This is what her producer Salaam Remi had to say about the late incredibly talented singer. Excerpts......
"I’m in London now. I’m out here because [Amy and I] were supposed to go to a wedding today. And before I could get to her yesterday she passed. We were going to the wedding of Nick Symansky, who is the person who really found her. He found her when he was a scout at 19. And he was the manager before they got the Universal deal.
They went ahead with the wedding. All I could do was sit there and imagine how many jokes she would have been cracking with me. We were in the middle of working on the album. She finished writing the record. We just hadn’t recorded.
For the last couple of weeks we were video chatting regularly. I was just talking to Nas. Both her and Nas were born on September 14, so we were going to Barbados with all of them for her birthday. She really doesn’t look forward to her birthday, you know what I’m saying?

In related news, contrary to what people think, her father believes she may have died  from alcohol withdrawal.
According  to the eulogy her father Mitch prepared, at his daughter's funeral that he believed it was just the opposite. 

"He said doctors had told Amy to gradually reduce her intake of alcohol and to avoid bingeing at all costs. Amy told him she couldn't do that. It was all or nothing and she gave up completely," says the source. 

"Mitch said the shock of giving up, after everything she had been through over a bad few years, was just too much for her to take."
