Reality star, Kerry Katona, 30, has spoken
publicly about the sad passing of British soul
singer, Amy Winehouse. Katona could
relate to Amy's struggles with
drugs and alcohol.

Speaking to Now Magazine UK,
Kerry reveals the parallels between
her life and Amy's life.

'Amy was so young, but I can so relate to
what she was doing. It can be so easy
to get some drugs in, have a
few drinks and lose sight of reality.'
(Now Magazine 2011- Kerry Katona)

Kerry was saddened at Amy's
passing over the weekend.
She counts herself as one of
the lucky few to survive
chronic drug addiction.

You've got to admire Kerry's
determination to overcome
her addictions. Katona is
now fully sober. She has
said that she did it for
herself and her kids.

Amy loved to sing!


Amy Winehouse's father,
Mitch, 60, spent time with
Amy's fans outside her Camden
home in North London today.
Mitch handed out some of the
singer's tee-shirts to fans. He has
said that this is what Amy would
have wanted. Fans from all over
the world have been camped outside
the singer's home since her death hit
the headlines. Mitch and Amy's mother
Janis were very touch by all the well
wishes from Amy's fans. The couple
are observing the Jewish period of
mourning known as the Shiva.

Mitch has said that he strongly
believes that Amy died because
she did not take her Doctor's advice
to ween off the drugs and alcohol
slowly. Amy alledgedly cut out
both substances entirely. Mitch
reportedly said that this would
have caused her system to go
 into shock because Amy was
used to large intakes of
substances. From what I've
heard this is quite common
among recovering addicts.

Mitch now plans to set up
The Amy Winehouse
Foundation to aid
addicts on their road
to recovery. Mitch
is a true gentleman!
