The death of singer Amy Winehouse is one of those tragedies that has affected a lot of people. It was one of the saddest celebrity deaths in many years. It has only gotten sadder now that her older brother Alex has announced that not did Amy have drug and alcohol problems she also suffered from bulimia.
Alex Winehouse was quoted in a Guardian interview for the opening of London's Jewish Museum's show "Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait" as saying "She suffered from bulimia very badly. That's not, like, a revelation – you knew just by looking at her. . . She would have died eventually, the way she was going, but what really killed her was the bulimia. . . I think that it left her weaker and more susceptible. Had she not had an eating disorder, she would have been physically stronger."
Alex Winehouse is four years old than his sister. They had been very close as children. He hopes the show will give people the chance to see her as a person not just the celebrity she became. "She was annoying, frustrating, a pain in the bum. But she was also incredibly generous, very caring. She'd do anything for anyone, she really would. She was loyal – as a sister, daughter and friend. She was probably the most loyal friend to people I've ever known."
Amy Winehouse's sad story just got even sadder.
