The first look at the Amy Winehouse documentary has arrived.
Amy, which is from BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia is due for release on July 3, follows the late singer over the course of her career before her untimely death at the age of 27.
The documentary will tell the story of the singer’s life which was tragically cut short from her own point of view and that of her earliest friends.
The trailer, set to a backdrop of Amy's haunting vocals from some of her biggest hits including Tears Dry on Their Own and Back to Black, shows Amy talking about fame and her life.
In a hauntingly prescient interview from early on in her career, Amy can be heard talking about how she doens't think she'd be able to handle fame.
She says: "I don't think I'm going to be at all famous. I don't think I could handle it. I'd go mad, do you know what I mean? I'd go mad."
She adds: "I never thought I'd be a singer. I just thought I'm lucky that it was something I could do if I want to. I'm so lucky like that," she says.
"I'm not a girl trying to be a star or trying to be anything other than a musician."
The film will feature unseen footage and unheard tracks – creating a fresh look at the talented star.
Universal boss David Joseph said: "About two years ago we decided to make a movie about her — her career and her life.
"It's a very complicated and tender movie. It tackles lots of things about family and media, fame, addiction, but most importantly, it captures the very heart of what she was about, which is an amazing person and a true musical genius."
The rehab singer was aged just 27 when she was found dead on a Saturday afternoon in her Camden flat with two empty bottles of vodka beside her.
At an inquest into her death, a verdict of misadventure was recorded.
