Amy Winehouse's mother, Janis Winehouse, has spoken publicly to mark the 15th anniversary of the singer's death, reflecting on her daughter's struggles with addiction. The comments come as fans and the music industry once again pay tribute to the Grammy-winning singer, whose death in 2011 remains a widely referenced example of the pressures fame can place on vulnerable artists.

In her remarks, Janis Winehouse describes her daughter as a "victim of her own success" and states that "the only boss is the addiction", underlining how substance dependency ultimately overpowered efforts to help her. The reflection adds a personal, family perspective to the continued public interest in Amy Winehouse's life and legacy 15 years on from her death.
