Dear Amy

How did a Jewish girl from London get that Southern accent for the song Valerie?

Of course you had the voice coaching and had been to acting school. Although I thought it was ‘By the Bay’ you were singing until I saw that tribute to you on tv, presented by Jools Holland.

As for Back to Black, did that bring back sad memories, of a relationship gone wrong . . . I wonder?

I never went to any of your gigs. I don’t even possess a dvd of any of your concerts, and to be honest Glastonbury isn’t exactly me. However, as I say, I’ve always admired your work. You had a great future ahead of you, but for people to say that you were your own worst enemy is a bit harsh to say the least. No one knows what the day to day life is like for others. You can be in a crowded room and be the loneliest person in the world. Amy I know what it’s like. And when you stand there they don’t even know you’re there.

I know you lost yourself in drink and drugs, like so many before you, but sorry to say, I read in my paper shortly after your passing that so called fans placed bottles of vodka and cider by your shrine.

To me, dear Amy I would not give them the honour of calling them even fair weather friends.
