Her life and times

September 14, 1983 Amy Jade Winehouse born in North London to Jewish family with jazz history. She attends the Sylvia Young Theatre School and the Brit School

2003 Her debut album, Frank, is nominated for the Mercury Prize

October 2006 Her second album, Back to Black, is released to massive critical acclaim

May 2007 She wins her second Ivor Novello songwriting award for Rehab, written in protest at her management’s suggestion that she clean up. She wins Best British Female Artist at the Brits. Her increasingly frail and tattooed appearance contrasts dramatically with the image of the girl on her first album cover. She marries on-off boyfriend Blake Fielder-Civil in a secret ceremony in Miami. Their earlier break-up inspired her to write Back to Black

August The pair are pictured in London at 4am bloodied and bewildered after a fight – she with ballet pumps soaked in blood; he with scratches to his face and neck. Their families hold crisis meetings. She is later admitted to hospital after a reported overdose of heroin, Ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol

October Spends night in a cell in Norway for possessing cannabis

November Husband arrested and charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice after allegedly trying to bribe a pub landlord. The singer locks herself into lavatory on domestic flight to smoke. The first night of her tour is marred by booing and walkouts at National Indoor Arena in Birmingham
