His words have once again brought attention back to Amy’s final years and the choices she made.
Blake Fielder-Civil responds to Amy Winehouse’s death claims, challenges public narrative
Blake Fielder-Civil spoke on the March 17, 2026, episode of the We Need to Talk podcast, where he directly addressed the long-standing public opinion about him. He said many people still believe he is fully responsible for Amy Winehouse’s death because of how their relationship was shown in the media years ago. Blake was quoted as saying:
“My stance now is that I know a lot of people, especially people reading media 20 years ago, would have an idea that Amy’s passing is my responsibility, as I’ve always said, I never shirk from any responsibility. If I’ve done something, I’ll put my hand up to it. I never blamed a person that gave me drugs for the first time, I never understood, do these people think that I forced Amy to do drugs? That’s just not what happened.”
