Adele pays tribute to Winehouse

Award-winning singer/songwriter, Adele, has credited Amy Winehouse with "paving the way" for her own success and declares the 27-year-old Rehab singer revitalised the UK music scene with her own blend of jazz and pop.

Adele writes on her blog: "Not many people have it in them to do something they love, simply because they love it. With no fuss and no compromise. but she knew what she was capable of and didn't even need to try."
She continues: "If she wanted to do something she would and if she didn't she'd say f*** off. It came easy to her and that's why we all loved her so much. We believed every word she wrote, and it would sink in deep when she sang them."
"Amy paved the way for artists like me and made people excited about British music again whilst being fearlessly hilarious and blase about the whole thing. I don't think she ever realised just how brilliant she was and how important she is, but that just makes her even more charming."
Adele goes on to say that she feels "proud" and "grateful" to Amy and that she is "incredibly sad" about her passing: "Although I'm incredibly sad about Amy passing I'm also reminded of how immensely proud of her I am as well. and grateful to be inspired by her. Amy flies in paradise."
