Speaking to The Daily Show, Bennett said that she “knew that she was in a lot of trouble, that she wasn’t gonna live. It wasn’t drugs, it was alcohol till the end.

He continued:

She was in trouble at that time. What people didn’t realize at that time, she really knew, and in fact I didn’t really know it when we were making the record. She knew she was in a lot of trouble, that she wasn’t gonna’ live. And it wasn’t drugs. It was alcohol.

Proceeds from the duet have gone to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, but many of the donations made to the foundation had to be returned, due to a third party had registered the same name.
