Gaga added she was angry at the media’s treatment of the story. “You know I just think the most unfortunate thing is how the media spins things,” she said. “It was like ‘what can we learn from Amy‘s passing?’ I don’t feel like Amy needed to learn any lessons. I felt like the world needed to learn how to be kinder to the superstar. Everybody was so hard on her. All I knew about her was she was the nicest, kindest woman.”

Gaga said that there was an inevitability to her death.

It’s a very lonely life but it’s what we loved about her. You can’t have someone singing about heartbreak and the blues and then for them not to be heartbroken.

At the time of Winehouse‘s passing, the singer Tweeted: ‘Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.”
