Amy Winehouse’s latest photos reopen old wounds
The show took place in Belgrade, Serbia in 2011, just five days before Amy’s tragic death at age 27.
Amy was courageously battling the eating disorder and substance abuse issues that would soon claim her life.
Unfortunately, she felt forced to continue her grueling performance schedule at a time when she should have been receiving help.

Amy slurred her words and forgot the lyrics to several songs during the last show.
At one point, she reacted to the crowd’s boos by crying and hugging herself.
Needless to say, the photos and footage of Amy’s final performance are heartbreaking.
They have resurfaced due to a renewed interest in Amy’s tremendous talent and tragically short life.
This interest appears to have been sparked by the upcoming biopic, Back to black.
Perhaps such a project was inevitable. But fans think Amy deserved a better tribute than this film, which is being ridiculed and considered exploitative.
Back to Black: Why is the Amy Winehouse biopic getting such harsh reviews?

The film only hits US theaters on May 17th, but already the critics were not kind.
Worse still, at least one close colleague of Amy’s criticized the film as an inaccurate representation of her life.
Her friend Tyler James openly stated that Amy would not have liked the film.
Although he admitted that she would have appreciated the sympathetic portrayal of Blake Fielder-Civil, to whom she was briefly married.

“Amy would have been pleased with Blake (because of his sympathetic portrayal), but she wouldn’t have liked the movie,” James said recently. London times.
“There is this sense of Amy being coherent even when using drugs, but there was a lot of suffering.”
James added that the film “avoids discomfort” and “focuses too much on Blake.”
