In 2007 the singer married musician Blake Fielder-Civil, but the couple had an increasingly violent relationship. Blake was sent to prison in 2008 on charges of obstruction of justice and they divorced in 2009.

Mitch Winehouse, her father, has not commented on her death but is currently travelling to London from New York.

R.I.P and God speed Amy.
