Thank you for keeping her memory alive through the music she loved so much.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWinehouse died July 23, 2011 at the age of 27, with alcohol poisoning cited as her cause of \u201cdeath by misadventure.\u201d<\/a> Fifteen years after the Grammy-winning singer\u2019s death, her mother Janis Winehouse opened up about dealing with grief and her daughter\u2019s reluctance toward success in a new interview with The i magazine<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cShe was a victim of her own success,\u201d Janis Winehouse\u00a0said. \u201cShe\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0want it, but it just followed her. And\u00a0she\u2019d\u00a0be like, \u2018Who, me?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJanis continued, \u201c\u201cShe didn\u2019t have confidence. Hence the alcohol. I think it\u2019s the same with many, many addicts with alcohol. The alcohol takes away the pain. And that is a horrible thing with addiction. Once you\u2019re addicted, you\u2019re addicted. The only boss\u00a0is the addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n
