It took us a long time to convince him to do this interview. Blake FC was married to Amy Winehouse for two years. This marriage made him one of the most-hated men in England. Why? This is his story:
Friends came to the north of London for the funeral. Winehouse's parents asked fans to respect their privacy.
Heute = Today
Today you cannot even imagine it anymore, but the 31-year-old BFC used to be a big media star for a while. When he was married to Amy Winehouse, she brought him everywhere. That's how proud and in love the soul diva was. And that made him famous. Now Blake is a penniless ex-junkie who lives through memories of better times. "She was the love of my life. Something like this only happens once. And I was her great love." It's almost 3 years since his Amy died. Today is the first time that Blake came to the cemetery in London Southgate. Amy's family didn't want him to come there after her death. After all, he is the man who introduced her to drugs. This feeling of guilt accompanies him every day. "Sometimes I feel responsible for her death. It was even worse in the past. A lot of people attacked me and I reacted aggressively. And I was also upset with myself, because I was the first one to give her drugs and drinks."
Amy was a lovely girl from a burrough of London when she met Blake in a pub. It is great love from the very beginning. In 2007 they got married. Amy doesn't care that Blake is addicted to crack and heroin. To the contrary, they were often high and completely stoned together for days. As strange as it sounds, the more broken she is, the bigger her success.
"Some people have to go through hard times to be recognized by other people, and then they say you're great."
Amy becomes an absolute superstar. Her drug addiction is glorified by the audience. Then, when high, Blake beats up a man and hurts him badly. He gets a prison sentence. In 2008, these paparazzi pictures were taken: Amy Winehouse on the way to visit her husband in prison. "What we will do? We'll sit on a couch and cry." The marriage fails and so does Amy. As often as she will try, she will never let go of the drugs. In the end she dies of more than 4mg alcohol in her blood. She didn't leave anything for her ex-husband Blake. Now the 31-year-old misses her. Sometimes he talks to her. This first visit, almost 3 years after her death, is especially painful, because, as much as he would like to, he cannot turn back time. "This is her finale. She has now found peace. It's final, if it hurts me or not. Actually, I would deserve it. Maybe that would be better for everbody."
You can see that Blake is not doing well. Last year he fell into a coma after he overdosed on heroin. He barely survived. If he is still an addict? We don't know. But even today people on the street attack him. He is the guy that is responsible for Amy's death. Apparently he believes the same. There's a feeling his life story will end bad shortly.

If maybe someone could change it into good English, I'd be grateful I tried to translate as closely as possible, so it sounds a bit weird at some points... But you'll get the idea
