Blake Fielder-Civil: I Ruined Amy Winehouse

As he’s coming to terms with his own drug addiction, Blake Fielder-Civil says he’s convinced that it was his influence on wife Amy Winehouse that caused her to get hooked on drugs.

In a recent interview, Blake admitted, “I dragged Amy into it, and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road. I ruined something beautiful.”

Fielder-Civil also noted that he would have to separate from the “Rehab” singer in order for her to get on the road to recovery. “Now I have to let her go to save her life. I am not abandoning her. I am doing this out of love. I have had to live with that for the past year that I have been in prison and I have got so much remorse.”

The former prison inmate concluded, “If it wasn’t for drugs, me and Amy would be so happy. Just without that in our lives—without crack and without heroin—Amy would be making beautiful music.”
