'I don’t like knowing that this most likely multi-million-pound project will only continue to line the pockets of those in an industry that I feel may only have cared for Amy as a product.' | ✍️ Emily Bashforth
You might presume that I’d be first in line to watch Back To Black, which was confirmed at the start of this year – but this definitely isn’t true.While its intentions may be to celebrate her life and shine a light on her personal struggles, all I see is an attempt to exploit the story of someone who was very vulnerable in life and whose legacy remains vulnerable today.She was my mum’s favourite singer, and still is.
However, when I look at photos of Abela on set, I don’t see someone paying homage to a star they love. I see someone doing an impression. No matter how brilliant an actress she is, she’s not Amy. I don’t like knowing that this most likely multi-million-pound project will only continue to line the pockets of those in an industry that I feel may only have cared for Amy as a product, not as a human being.

They’re built up to queen-like status, readily torn down by everyone when they’re struggling, and portrayed as a damsel in distress who could’ve been saved when it’s too late. Unfortunately, that doesn’t offer me any reassurance, given that her father was so involved in her career and her family has openly admitted to missing warning signs of her struggles.Amy was so close to her parents, protective of her mum especially, but Janis herself said – in 2015 documentary Amy – that her daughter opened up about her ‘diet’ as a teen.
