Amy Winehouse: ‘There Was Nothing To Live For’

Don’t worry about troubled singer Amy Winehouse – she’s just bored.

“To be honest, my husband’s away, I’m bored, I’m young,” Winehouse told Rolling Stone in a revealing early-morning interview that began at 4 AM. “I felt like there was nothing to live for. It’s just been a low ebb.”

The songbird has split her time between performing and hospital stays recently, spending over 10 days at a London hospital after reportedly being diagnosed with symptoms that could lead to emphysema. Though her medical issues and problems with drugs and alcohol have been well documented, Winehouse doesn’t seem to believe she’s hit rock bottom.

“I’ve never been to rehab, I mean, done it properly,” Winehouse said. “I’m young, and I’m in love, and I get my nuts off sometimes. But it’s never been like, ‘Amy, get your life together.’”

Still, she’s trying to gain weight, reportedly munching on a banana and potato chip sandwich during the interview.

“I’m on a strict pizza diet. I’m on a strict put-weight-on diet,” she said. “I love food. I’m just stressed out.”

One source of stress has been the imprisonment of her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil — who she affectionately dubbed her “Blake incarcerated” during her Grammy acceptance speech.

“We are so in love, we are a team,” she said, repeating, “Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake.”

Issues aside, the singer already has material for her next album, which she described as “same stuff as my last album but with some ska,” though she was mum on whether sessions for the follow-up to her Grammy-winning “Back To Black” had begun.

“It’s not so much about recording, it’s about whatever,” she said.

Delaying the recording may be Winehouse’s split with producer Mark Ronson, who worked on much of “Back To Black.”

“We are close enough that I thought we could be like, ‘Hello, darling, it’s me,’” she said regarding the producer’s worry over her scandalous lifestyle, noting that they did spend a few days together in Oxford. “I played him tracks I liked, just getting the vibe, and he was like, ‘Amy, come, let’s work.’ He was really just uptight. . . . He left after three days, and I was like, ‘Breathe a sigh of relief, I’m in the country and I can write.’”
