Did Amy Winehouse buy drugs the night before her death?

Did Amy Winehouse buy drugs the night before her death?

A drug fixer has claimed that he smoked heroin with Amy Winehouse the night before she died. Tony Azzopardi also has alleged that he helped Amy buy drugs for herself at the same time.

The man says he was introduced to the tragic singer via her ex husband Blake Fielder-Civil and has spoken out now as he wants her family to 'know the truth about what happened'.

He believes Amy bought £1,200 worth of crack and herion from a dealer that he knew after the pair bumped into eachother at a pub in Camden.

However, we think his claims sounds downright dodgy. Police have insisted nothing drug related was found at the house after Amy passed away and her family are certain the story does not match up with what they believe to have happened.

Amy’s dad Mitch stands by his belief that Amy had given up drugs and alcohol and her death was result of a seizure related to alcohol withdrawal.

The cause of death will become clear in a few weeks when the toxicology results are expected.

Lady Gaga: Amy didn’t need to learn anything

Meanwhile, celebrities are continiuing to mourn the loss of Amy Winehouse and today Lady Gaga admitted she couldn’t speak for 48 hours after hearing the news, despite never having actually met the singer.

Speaking on US show, The View, Gaga said:

‘I am just so devastated and so sad and I really could not speak for 48 hours straight I was in such shock.’

She also said Amy was not the one who needed to learn any lessons, rather us lot, the media!

‘I think the most unfortunate thing about it all is the way that the media spins things, like we can learn from Amy's death. I don't feel that Amy needed to learn any lessons. I felt that the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar.’

While Gaga never actually met Amy, she insists ‘everything that I knew about her was that she was the most lovely and nice and kind woman.’

    When Left Eye from TLC died I had to get sent home from school because I was so distraught, and spent the entire weekend in my pj's, wrapped in a duvet, watching MTV Base and crying. I'd never even been to a TLC concert. Cringe.

    shhhh Gaga, no one wants to hear what you think. Besides, that's nothing. When Heath Ledger died I stopped talking for 26 days straight, ate only 1 mungbean per week for 6 months and got Heath Ledger's face tattooed over my own one so i could snog myself in the mirror. Now THAT'S commitment to someone you've never met. suck it, Gaga.

    Forgot to say that, whether or not this Tony bloke is telling the truth or not, he should be taken in for questioning by the police. If he did do what he's claiming, he should be charged accordingly and if not, then it'll be clear he's trying to make personal gain by lying about a deceased woman. Disgusting either way.

    HW, if you think the drug-fixer story is 'downright dodgy', then why publish it?? Have some thought for the damage it can do and the actual evidence for claims before releasing stories. As for Lady Gaga, plenty of people who never met Amy were shocked by her death but she just seems to be milking it for her own benefit. Unable to speak for 48 hours straight? Sounds highly unlikely. Also, there is definitely a lesson to be learned from Amy's life i.e. drugs and/or alcohol can ruin lives, whether or not Amy was in fact killed by drugs or not. I sincerely hope that Amy was on her way to recovering when she died but the fact is that she had set herself an uphill struggle following her previous substance misuse. I've seen a clip of Lady Gaga's interview and she said the world needs to be "kinder to the superstar" - what the hell is that supposed to mean?! How about just being kinder to each other generally, whether you're famous or not?!

    So someone known as a "drug fixer" is willing to discuss buying and using heroin in national newspapers... a) I wonder how much he got paid by the papers, ugh and b) is he not worried the police will want to investigate that?
