As singer Amy Winehouse descended into drug addiction and alcoholism in the years before her untimely death at the age of 27, much of the blame was placed on her former partner, Blake Fielder-Civil.
The now 43-year-old was said to have introduced the beloved star to drugs such as heroin and cocaine and was often seen as the villain in her tragic life events.

But in another new interview, he's speaking out for the first time in years on his rocky and loving relationship with Winehouse and why he feels he should not shoulder the responsibility of her death.
"My stance now is that I know that a lot of people, especially people reading this media 20 years ago, would have an idea that Amy's passing is my responsibility," he added.
