Amy used to say, \u2018Fame is like terminal cancer. I wouldn\u2019t wish it on anyone,\u2019 and that sticks with me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I am always caught in this dilemma of living a normal, mundane life [he lives on a farm in rural Ireland, an hour outside Galway], yet part of me thinks she\u2019d want me to make something of my life again \u2014 to be creative and perform in some way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Foolish&#8217; singer &#8211; who met the &#8216;Back to Black&#8217; legend when they were in their late teens and lived with in Camden until her death &#8211; admitted that he does &#8220;miss&#8221; life in the North London town and has considered moving back there as he reflected on being &#8220;lost&#8221; without his friend. <\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;There\u2019s a lot to do. I do miss pounding the pavements. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Yes, I\u2019ve finally started to think that maybe I should face up to things and come back to London. It\u2019s taken this long. I still can\u2019t really listen to Amy\u2019s songs if they come on the radio. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My early years with her were the madness of being teens. My twenties were supporting Amy through her fame. My thirties were about grieving, and now &#8220;I\u2019m in my forties, perhaps I\u2019m going to have to start being more true to myself. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;For a good ten years I\u2019ve been lost without her. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019ll do though.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/amy-winehouse-compared-famous-terminal-cancer-1399054.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 May 2024 Amy Winehouse compared fame to &#8220;terminal cancer&#8221;.
