14 DAY TRIAL // Blake Fielder-Civil, Amy Winehouse’s husband, her “muse” for the album “Back to Black” and the one who reportedly introduced her to heavy drugs, has been left out of the singer’s will, it has emerged.
Currently in prison serving time for burglary and use of an imitation of a firearm, Blake won’t get even a penny from Amy’s fortune, currently estimated at around £10 million.
Sources are telling the Daily Mail that this was Amy’s desire, which means she must have made clear provisions in this sense in her will.
Instead, all her money and possessions will go to her divorced parents and her brother. Blake will be left with nothing from Amy than her memory – and she made sure this would be the case shortly after she divorced him.
“Around the time of the divorce, all of Amy’s finances were sorted out – and Blake can’t get his hands on any of it,” an unnamed source is cited as saying.
“I am pretty sure that Amy does have a will. As a matter of course with record contracts, financial advisers will make sure that is done,” adds the insider.
Responding to claims that Blake might attempt to capitalize on his brief and very troubled marriage to the singer, his mother released a statement saying that the thought hasn’t even entered his mind.
“He’s devastated and profiting from Amy’s death would be the last thing on his mind,” Blake’s mother says.
Of course, that was not the case two years ago, when Blake made a move for Amy’s money, saying that, without him, she would have never record “Back to Black” and become one of the biggest selling artists of her time.
Blake cheated on Amy and broke her heart, which, in turn, prompted her to vent her frustrations into her music, he argued, as we also informed you at the time. As such, he was her “muse.”
Consequently, Blake concluded that he’d been instrumental in the success of the album, so he deserved a cut of the money she made from it: about £6 million, he said. He didn’t get a penny.
