Rolling Stones recall Amy Winehouse while preparing cover

In a new interview, members of The Rolling Stones have shared personal memories and expressed regret over the loss of singer Amy Winehouse, as the band prepares to release a cover of her song on their upcoming album. Guitarists Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards reflected on their connection to Winehouse, who died in July 2011 at age 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning.

The band's twenty-fifth studio album, "Foreign Tongues," is scheduled for release on Friday, July 10. It includes the Stones' interpretation of Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good," a track from her acclaimed 2006 album "Back to Black." The cover features Mick Jagger's harmonica as the lead instrument.

Ronnie Wood, 79, who was closer to Winehouse than his bandmates, recalled advising her during her struggles with addiction. He described conversations where she would express distress about her situation. Wood said he told her that everyone knew she had vodka in her water bottle and urged her to focus on performing. He noted that if she could get on stage and stay there, her talent shone through. Wood expressed sadness that she did not live a full life, comparing the loss to saying goodbye to legendary singer Billie Holiday.
