Amy Winehouse fans spotted heartbreaking moment in her final ever performance days before her death

The British music icon tragically died 13 years ago today

The Londoner was responsible for plenty of absolute British bangers, from ‘Back to Black’ to ‘Rehab’.

With music that put plenty of her emotions out for the world to hear, Winehouse’s career, while successful, was relatively short-lived as she died at the age of just 27 on 23 July, 2011 from alcohol poisoning.

Previously documented in Sam Taylor-Johnson’s Back to Black film, Winehouse’ life was studded with extraordinary highs and a series of lows – which were well followed by tabloids at the time.

The star was often hounded by paparazzi, capturing her drunken incidents on the streets with her ex-partner Blake Fielder-Civil.

Tragically, much of her later performances were marred by Winehouse’s struggles with addiction and mental illness.

In 2011, the mega talent was set for a 12-leg European tour which opened in Belgrade, Serbia. But when she took to the stage that night on 18 June, it ended up being her final ever official performance.

This show became infamous as it was slammed a ‘disaster’ with reports at the time claiming she stumbled across the stage, forgot the words of her songs and even forgot the names of her bandmates.

The footage of the concert is pretty uncomfortable to watch and tragically shows her struggling over how difficult she is finding it, while some of the audience boo her.

And in a heartbreaking moment that has recently been spotted by fans, Winehouse seemed to forget the words again to ‘Some Unholy War’.

At this point, backing vocalist Zalon Thompson came over and whispered the words into her ear. This then led to her breaking down as the crowd’s pressure began to grow.

Winehouse held back tears as she hugged herself and the show continued.

It wasn’t long until the Brit’s next scheduled performances were cancelled, and the tour abandoned.

She also reportedly turned down the payment for her the concert that night in Belgrade.

Winehouse wasn’t seen much after that tragic night, but she did sing at her goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield’s, concert at Camden’s Roundhouse to sing a version of ‘Mama Said’.

But just days after that, the icon was found dead in her flat.

Despite the lows that punctuated her career, Winehouse is indisputably one of the great British talents of our generation.

Amy Winehouse’s final conversation before her tragic death revealed after 15 years

It’s nearly 15 years since the iconic performer passed away

Warning: This article contains discussion of drug and alcohol addiction which some readers may find distressing.

Amy Winehouse’s final conversation before her tragic death has been revealed.

The incredibly talented performer, best known for her hits ‘Back to Black’ and ‘Tears Dry On Their Own’, sadly died from alcohol poisoning at the age of just 27 in July 2011.

Winehouse struggled with alcohol and drug problems throughout her short life, but is remembered as one of the greatest singers of recent generations, with her close friend Dale Davis comparing her to Kurt Cobain, another superstar who lost their life far too soon.

As we approach 15 years since we lost Amy, her former bodyguard, as well as Davis, have opened up about the final conversations she had the night before she sadly passed away.

Winehouse had been battling addiction in the wake of her marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil breaking down, and it seems as if she was sadly reflecting on her own talent and fame shortly before her heartbreaking death.

Her bodyguard, Andrew Morris, shared the final words he said to her, in which she was clearly struggling with the fame that her powerful voice and stage presence had brought her.

He said: “She was showing me some clips on her laptop and she was singing. She said, ‘Boy, I can sing’ and I said, ‘Damn right you can sing’.

“She said, ‘If I could I would give it back just to walk down the street with no hassle’.”

Winehouse was found dead at her Camden Square home the next morning.

Davis, who was a long-time confidant of the London singer, spoke to her the night before her death, where she also suggested that she was watching YouTube videos of her performances.

He said: “I talked to her at 11.30pm, three hours before she went to bed for the last time, and she was on good form.

“Amy said, ‘Dale, I’ve just been watching myself on YouTube and I can sing, can’t I?’ I replied, ‘Of course you can sing! You’re the best… you know.’

“I’m 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, ‘Is the adulation real or not?’ But to me, Amy is the first star of the millennium.

He also opened up about his first thoughts on Amy, and why her character was so infectious.

Davis said: “When we first met, she didn’t say much because she was quite an awkward character. But when I started working with her, you could see the love in her.

“If she liked you, she really liked you. If she loved you, she loved you hard. She was a warm, beautiful, generous person who made me feel special right from the off.

“I was out with her two nights beforehand. And she used to ring my house regularly around that time to speak to my wife (now ex-wife) and son. However, she did tell my ex that she didn’t think she’d see 28.

“There’s an element of Kurt Cobain in her. They both had very short careers but were massively impactful.
