Just like comedian Russell Brand, Lady Gaga believes – and openly states so – that there’s a lesson to be learned from Amy Winehouse’s death. That would be “don’t kill the superstar,” the singer says in a recent radio interview.
Gaga never met the late British crooner but she had
nothing but respect for her music, her talent, her genius.
She was in the first wave of celebrities to take to Twitter to speak about Amy’s death and how fans should
remember her only for her music, and not for her troubled personal life.
During a recent appearance on Carson Daly’s 97.1 AMP Radio show, Gaga said that she was “very sad” because of Amy’s death, adding that the tragedy should also serve as a lesson,
X17 Online reports.
“I was nobody when she was first coming out. I have really dark hair and all the time on the street people would go, ‘Amy! ... They’d scream at me,” Gaga recalled of the years when she was just starting out.
“I loved her and I just remember feeling like I wasn’t alone because she was so different and she was so special... it’s a lesson to the world: Don’t kill the superstar. Take care of her. Take care of her soul,” the “Born This Way” singer added.
This is not the first time that Gaga says that she would often get mistaken for Amy, even though not many may see the resemblance at first.
When she was starting off in the industry, Mother Monster was rocking dark hair – and it was the fact that she would be mistaken for Winehouse that determined her to dye it blonde, as we also
informed you back in June 2009.
“Amy is a bad[expletive] but I want to be known for my own look,” she said at the time, adding that one interviewer spoke to her for minutes before realizing she wasn’t Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse was found dead on Saturday in her London home. She was 27, and her body was cremated yesterday. A cause of death is yet to be determined.
