'I was the youngest person that was really around her in a world full of adults that I kind of gave her the motherly side that she wanted. And, I loved it, because she was great.'
I was 12 at the time. But, she was great. That's one of my fondest places that I remember Amy in, because I always call it the rebirth. And, yeah, it was the turning point. She was definitely the most I'd say secure in life. That was a woman that was getting herself better, ultimately.
And were you aware then of issues that had been going on in her life, like her marriage breakdown with Blake Fielder Civil? It was never something you talked about. It was personal. Like I said before, I'm not going to focus on the negative. I was young. It's probably a lucky thing that I was young, so I wasn't shown that side.
It was also really brave of you in the documentary when you went to see Jevan, her former personal assistant. And that was the first time that the two of you had got together and talked about that moment that you found out about her death, whilst you were on tour supportingI got told, and then [management] were like, "Listen, let's go back to London. You don't have to do this." But I knew and I said, "Well, we're here now.
It was the first time she'd seen me perform as an audience member publicly. So, yeah, she was on the side of the stage...and then she came out and she danced and it was really, really great. And she was really good. There were a lot of positives. And I always say if that's the last time you can see someone, I hope it's like that, because it was a great final moment for me.I knew she was smart, but just by talking to other people, I kind of was reintroduced to how smart she was.
