Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at age 27, with only two studio albums to her name. The troubled singer recorded demos for a third LP, but those tracks will never be heard ? since they were destroyed by David Joseph, chairman/CEO of Winehouse's label, Universal Music U.K. "It was a moral thing," the exec told Billboard. "Taking a stem or a vocal is not something that would ever happen on my watch. It now can't happen on anyone else's."
Winehouse's friends, admirers and collaborators, including co-writer/producer Mark Ronson, spoke to Billboard for a feature on the singer's tragic life and musical legacy, timed around Asif Kapadia's new documentary, Amy, which hits select theaters on July 3rd.
