THIS is the summer Amy Winehouse should have been throwing a party like no other to celebrate her 30th birthday.
Instead, her grieving family are preparing to face the second anniversary of the tragic singer’s untimely death.
Heartbreakingly, mum Janis insists it is no surprise her daughter is no longer with us — as she never expected Amy to make it into her fourth decade.
In a touching interview with The Sun, Janis, 58, says: “When I think Amy would have been 30 this year, it doesn’t feel right.
“I’m not saying I always foresaw this but I wasn’t surprised.
“I couldn’t see Amy as an older person. She was this young girl who exploded into the world like a firecracker and then it was, ‘OK, I’m done — I’m off’. Amy was never meant to be 30.”
