It’s all about the money - Amy Winehouse

Proving that the business world is cold and cruel and all about the profits; Amy Winehouse’s callous record label have boasted about the troubled star’s sales figures and “amazing marketing opportunities”, while she languishes in rehab.

Universal Music made vast sums of money from the drug addict during 2007, during which time she tumbled deeper into a debilitating reliance on heroin and cocaine. Her 3.4 million albums sales worldwide boosted profits for the firm and they’re keen to trumpet their success, despite the tastelessness of their timing.

Universal Music International’s vice president Hassan Choudhry gleefully announced: “Everyone is extremely happy with the amount of records we’ve sold and a lot of it has been down to some amazing marketing opportunities in the market when the artist wasn’t available. There’s no getting away from the fact all the coverage has kept Amy Winehouse’s profile at the highest level.”

It’s just cold.
