AMY Winehouse's mother said the singer was not well when they met a day before she died, a British newspaper reported yesterday, while her family mourned the loss of "a wonderful daughter, sister, niece."
The Sunday Mirror quoted Janis Winehouse as saying she believed it was "only a matter of time" before her daughter died. The 27-year-old singer was found dead at her London home on Saturday.
"She seemed out of it. But her passing so suddenly still hasn't hit me," Janis told the tabloid.
Ambulance crews called to her home in north London's Camden area on Saturday afternoon but found the singer had already died. Police said the cause of her death is being treated as "unexplained," rejecting speculation that she died from a drug overdose as "inappropriate." A post-mortem is expected today or tomorrow.
The Winehouse family said in a statement it was remembering her, and requested privacy. "Our family has been left bereft by the loss of Amy, a wonderful daughter, sister, niece. She leaves a gaping hole in our lives," it said.
Fans from around the world and neighbors have left a growing pile of flowers, candles and messages outside Winehouse's home, as tributes from celebrities poured in. One of the messages read "R.I.P. Never Forgotten," while another said "It's all right, love. Go now."
