Keep singing: Pete Doherty dedicates his new song to late singer Amy Winehouse

The former Libertines frontman Pete Doherty performed a track he’d written for Amy Winehouse at his last gig for a ‘long time’ at London‘s Brixton Academy. As a close friend of Amy Winehouse, he also dedicated the show to the singer, who died in July, before unveiling the new song.

“Amy Winehouse asked me a while ago if I had written any new songs. I played her something, and when I had finished, she looked at me and said, ‘Is that it? Is that all you’ve got.”

“I want to dedicate this show to the memory of Robin Whitehead and Amy Winehouse, two good friends of mine. Here’s a song I wrote for Amy.”-Pete Doherty said.

The song was a slow, acoustic led number, and although the lyrics were hard to make out they include the line “oh Amy, she won’t be around tonight.” Pete Doherty has been very candid about his struggle to come to terms with the Amy’s death, and told The People newspaper last month that he was “…struggling with everything because I’m so bewildered about what happened to Amy.”

“I was in bed when I heard the news of her death. Someone had to wake me up to tell me. I couldn’t take it in and still can’t. Coming to terms with what has happened is almost impossible. It’s hard to think she’s not with us anymore.”-the singer said.
