Amy Winehouse's mother Janis Winehouse says she wasn't surprised when the late singer died because she never expected her daughter to ever make it into her 30s.
Amy died of alcohol poisoning in July 2011 aged just 27 and Janis says she couldn't ever imagine the 'Rehab' hitmaker, as an older woman, reported Sun online.
"When I think Amy would have been 30 this year, it doesn't feel right. I'm not saying I always foresaw this but I wasn't surprised. I couldn't see Amy as an older person. She was this young girl who exploded into the world like a firecracker and then it was, 'OK, I'm done -- I'm off'. Amy was never meant to be 30," Janis said.
The 58-year-old retired pharmacist also said Amy was bored of performing the same songs at her gigs, and insists the 'Back to Black' hitmaker went through life thinking she was immortal.
"Amy was getting there. She had kicked the drugs but I also know she was bored -- bored with doing the same gigs and same music. I would definitely say Amy was bored with life.
"I believe in life after death and that when Amy passed she probably met with her grandma, who said to her, 'You see, I told you this would happen! I told you to stop your mad way of life'. And Amy probably said, 'Oops, I didn't mean to do that.' I think she surprised herself. She probably thought she was immortal," Janis said.
