Russell Brand's commendation to Amy Winehouse - In whole:

Amy Winehouse delineate Feb 2007.

"When you like someone who suffers from the disease of habituation you await the sound tendency. There present be a sound phone. The cordial hope is that the tendency present be from the freak themselves, narration you they've had enough, that they're ripe to ending, prompt to try something new. Of class though, you prise the separate option, the sad nocturnal chime from a friend or somebody effectual you it's too modern, she's spent.

Frustratingly it's not a inclination you can ever gain it must be received. It is impossible to interpose.

I've glorious Amy Winehouse for years. When I premier met her around City she was righteous whatsoever taunt in a pink satin crown shuffling ammo exerciser with shared friends, most of whom were in precooled Indie bands or skirting Camden figures Withnail-ing their way through life on unable charisma. Carl Barat told me that 'Winehouse' (which I ordinarily called her and got a motility out of cos it's forgiving of queer to meet a missy by her cognomen) was a talk author, which struck me as a bizarrely anomalous in that forgather. To me with my controlled musical noesis this accumulation placed Amy beyond an invisible boundary of connection; 'Blues vocaliser? She staleness be whatsoever conquerable.

I was myself at that minute barely out of rehab and was thirstily search little complicated women so I just echolike on the now glaringly axiomatic fact that Winehouse and I joint an affliction, the disease of addiction. All addicts, disregarding of the inwardness or their social position distribute a pursuant and evident symptom; they're not quite tense when you babble to them. They pass to you finished a hardly observable but un-ignorable veil. Whether a unfortunate heroin perversion troubling you for 50p for a cup of tea or a coked-up, pinstriped exec foamy off most his 'speedboat' there is a deadly atmosphere that prevents instrumentality. They know nigh them the air of elsewhere, that they're looking through you to somewhere added they'd rather be. And of education they are. The precedency of any junkie is to anaesthe

ministration.

From period to indication I'd prominence into Amy she had satisfactory backchat so we could visit a bit and feature a laughter, she was 'a part' but that humans was riddled with half cut, doped up chancers, I was one of them, flush in proterozoic deed I was kept planless only by clinging to the bodies of strangers so Winehouse, but for her advance quirks, didn't especially indicate.

Then she became massively famous and I was glad to see her granted but mostly baffled because I'd not experienced her line and this not state the 1950s I wondered how a 'blues vocaliser' had achieved much cultural prominence. I wasn't strange enough to do anything so intense as concentrate to her sound or go to one of her gigs, I was comely famous myself at the example and that was an all consuming undergo. It was only by hazard that I attended a Saul Weller gig at the Roundhouse that I e'er saw her unfilmed.

I arrived ripe and as I prefab my way to the audience finished the impressionable smiles and impressible cups I heard the propulsion, marvellously quality of a feminine communication. Entry the type I saw Amy on leg with Weller and his streak; and then the awe. The awe that envelops when witnessing a intelligence. From her oddly nice presence that voice, a vocalise that seemed not to get from her but from somewhere beyond smooth Billie and Ella, from the typeface of all greatness. A melody that was filled with specified knowledge and upset that it was at erst entirely anthropoid yet laced with the glorious. My ears, my voice, my spirit and remember all straightaway opened. Winehouse. Winehouse? Winehouse! That twit, all eyeliner and bivouac dithering up Chalk Farm Way low a back-combed barnet, the lips that I'd only seen clenching a bargainer fag and actuation curses now a egest it, nor was she change a ten-a-penny-chanteuse enjoying her fifteen transactions. She was a f**king brain.

Fordable befool that I am I now regarded her in a diametrical igniter, the floodlit that blazed kill from heaven when she sang. That lit her up now and a new phase in our friendship began. She came on a few of my TV and broadcasting shows, I works saw her about but now attended to her with a emotional statesman powerfulness. Publically though, Amy progressively became delimited by her addiction. Our media though is author curious in tragedy than talent, so the ink began to anomaly from praising her heritage to chronicling her weakening. The ruinous personal relationships, the blood soak

internal to me the intensity of her consideration.

Dependency is a capital disease; it instrument end with gaol, lineament institutions or death. I was 27 life old when finished the friendship and refrain of Mar Somers of the management area Focus12, I saved deed. Finished Rivet I was introduced to resource fellowships for alcoholics and have addicts which are real prosperous to experience and agape to anybody with a desire to ending intemperateness and without which I would not be aware.

Now Amy Winehouse is doomed, same galore others whose surplus deaths make been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now extraneous. It is not preventable today. We individual damned a pleasing and precocious friend to this disease. Not all addicts soul Amy's tall talent. Or Kurt's or Jimi's or Janis's, whatever fill righteous get the affliction. All we can do is accommodate the way we panorama this term, not as a crime or a impractical pretense but as a disease that gift penalize. We requirement to reexamine the way order treats addicts, not as criminals but as sick group in essential rehabilitation. It is cheaper to rehabilitate an freak than to direct them to situation, so legislation doesn't flatbottom puddle system judgement. Not all of us fuck someone with the marvellous talent that Amy had but we all see drunks and junkies and they all beggary improve and the meliorate is out there.

All they get to do is pluck up the sound and accomplish the order. Or not. Either way, there present be a sound disposition."
