This British singer became famous thanks to her impressive voice and because of her private life which was full of ups and downs. Her first debut album “Frank” which was released in 2013 was a critical success in the UK and it was even nominated for the Mercury Prize. Despite her success as a singer, her drug problems threatened her career on many occasions.
Five years after her death, photographer Charles Moriarty revealed unpublished images of the British singer. These pictures show a more personal side of Amy that we had never seen before.

Amy grew up in a Jewish family, her paternal grandfather was a singer and her maternal uncles were professional jazz musicians. She grew up in Southgate, London with her father, who worked as a taxi driver, her mother who worked as a pharmacist and her older brother Alex. Since her father was a huge fan of Frank Sinatra, Amy was very interested in jazz music.

A concert held in June 2011 in Belgrade, Serbia, is listed as one of her worst appearances. People who attended the presentation cataloged it as disastrous, this was because Amy went on stage while intoxicated, failing to reach the notes and detuning. Since it was a real disaster, the artist canceled the following concerts.
