Amy Winehouse is not afraid to die young and may be nearing the end of her rope. Winehouse reportedly is on 24-hour suicide watch by her friends after threatening to kill herself with a knife she had at her own chest. Her friends were able to get the knife away from her, but Amy is saying she doesn’t see the point in living anymore.
Amy, 25, is said to be on suicide watch after apparently holding a knife to her chest and saying, “What’s the point in living?”
It is claimed the ‘Back to Black’ singer is obsessed with the idea of dying young and was left distraught after her husband Blake Fielder-Civil - currently serving a 27-month sentence for grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice - turned down early parole from prison, leaving Amy saying she is “caught up in a nightmare”.

The UK tabloid, The Daily Star, says Amy is saying it’s her destiny to follow in the footsteps of her idol, Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious. Viscious died from a heroin overdose at 21.
“Amy has a death wish. Her emotions are exaggerated She is either high all the time or when she hears something she doesn’t like, she’s suicidal.
“She is all for this stupid Sid Vicious notion of dying young. She is not scared of it and believes it is her destiny.”

Like her or lump her, it’s not fun watching anyone spiral down through addiction and death. Knowing that this is part of the rockstar mystique Amy has about herself makes it hard to know what to think about the people around her and how much they may have tried to help but were rebuffed. Witness statements at this point should be enough to get something legally done now that she’s a clear danger to herself.
