Singer Amy Winehouse's former husband Blake Fielder-Civil has revealed she attempted suicide eight weeks before she died of alochol poisoning in 2011.
Fielder-Civil said the Grammy-winner "slashed herself", reported Female First.
Fielder-Civil, whose new partner Sarah was going into labour when Winehouse called him to remind him it was their wedding anniversary, recalled, "I told her I couldn't talk, as Sarah was having my baby and hung up. In hindsight, I should have known that would really upset and hurt her."
"The day after, I phoned her to apologise and say happy anniversary and she told me she had cut herself really badly. She said it had been serious. But Amy really no longer cared if she lived or died," he said.
The "The Back to black" hitmaker died at her residence in London, aged 27.
