Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning nearly four years ago
at her London home at the age of 27 after struggling with
drinking and drug problems throughout much of her career.
"I don't think I'm going to be at all famous, I don't think I
could handle it. I would probably go mad," Winehouse says in the
first glimpse of "AMY", due for release on July 3 and using
previously unseen footage and unheard tracks.
Directed by Asif Kapadia, who won a BAFTA for his documentary "Senna"
on the late Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna, AMY features
footage of a young Winehouse singing and smiling to camera and
talking about her career while a version of her hit "Back to
Black" plays in the background.
Seen as one of the most talented musicians of her generation,
Winehouse's albums - with songs such as "Valerie", "You Know I'm
No Good" and "Rehab" - sold in their millions.
"I never thought ... I would end up being a singer. I just
thought I'm lucky that it is something I can always do if I want
to," she says in another clip.
