A former security guard for Amy Winehouse has reported that the late British singer spent her last night alone, playing drums and singing in the bedroom of her two million pound appartment in north London."Knowing she wasn’t depressed, knowing she passed away, knowing she passed away happy – it makes us all feel better She was the happiest she has been for years. She was in her room, playing drums and singing. As it was late, her security guard said to keep it quiet, and she did. Amy was the greatest daughter, family member, and friend you could ever have."
According to thee security guard he checked on Amy the following morning and found her sleeping, then returned later to discover that she had died. The cause of death has yet to be determined.
Here's a video from 2008 featuring Amy Winehouse playing the drums:
In related news: a posthumous album by Amy Winehouse is likely to move away from the jazz influence of her first two albums and may be reggae inspired by the time the singer spent in St Lucia in 2010. Chas Newkey-Burden, who wrote 'Amy Winehouse: The Biography' in 2009, says:
"In what we can tell from the third album, I think she had been quite influenced by reggae. I think Amy would have been quite keen for a slightly indulgent third album. It might have been her way of showing the world what she was really like."
Recording sessions on the album were said to be a failure and Amy Winehouse was unsatisfied with the work. But it is unlikely her record company will try to prevent the songs from seeing the light of day.
