Amy Winehouse Covers VIBE

Thursday, July 28 2011 10:03 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan

Sharing the cover of VIBE‘s Aug/Sept JUICE issue with Kelly Rowland, is the late Amy Winehouse. Below producer Salaam Remi shares his final days with Amy. Issue on newsstands August 16.

I’m in London now. I’m out here because [Amy and I] were supposed to go to a wedding today. And before I could get to her yesterday she passed. We were going to the wedding of Nick Symansky, who is the person who really found her. He found her when he was a scout at 19. And he was the manager before they got the Universal deal.

They went ahead with the wedding. All I could do was sit there and imagine how many jokes she would have been cracking with me. We were in the middle of working on the album. She finished writing the record. We just hadn’t recorded.

For the last couple of weeks we were video chatting regularly. I was just talking to Nas. Both her and Nas were born on September 14, so we were going to Barbados with all of them for her birthday. She really doesn’t look forward to her birthday, you know what I’m saying?

In related news, Amy’s Back To Black returns to the Billboard charts at #9 with 37k sold and its #1 on iTunes.
