Grammy award winning star Adele shared her thoughts on the highly-emotive Amy Winehouse documentary, "Amy," directed by Asif Kapadia which details the soul singer's demise. While calling the film "uncomfortable," she said it brought her to tears.
During an interview with i-D about her latest album "25," singer Adele revealed her devotion to Winehouse. She said had it not been for Winehouse's 2003 album "Frank," she would never have taken up the guitar.
"If it wasn't for Amy and 'Frank' one hundred percent I would not have picked up a guitar, I would not have written 'Daydreamer' or 'Hometown' and I wrote 'Someone Like You' on the guitar too," Adele told the publication.
The "Rolling In The Deep" singer said she had not intended to go and see Kapadia's documentary on Winehouse. However, the positive reviews of the film swayed her decision.
The British songstress revealed that the funeral footage in the film really became an emotional point, and she felt "uncomfortable" listening to voice mail recordings of Winehouse which played back in the film.
"I felt like I was intruding so I actually felt a little bit uncomfortable and that ruined it for me," Adele said adding that the saddest realization for her was knowing she would never hear Winehouse's voice again.
Kapadia's documentary depicts Winehouse's life through the standpoint of her struggle with substance abuse problems. The film was released in the United States and United Kingdom on July 3.
Meanwhile, Adele released her new single "Hello," which is poised to become Britain's fastest selling single for 2015, according to Billboard.
Adele's comeback single has ousted Justin Bieber's "Sorry" from the charts, racking up sales and garnering 52,000 daily downloads, during the three days since the song was released.
