Sinead O'connor: 'Back to Black' Star "Amy Winehouse Was Treated Like An Animal"

Sinead O'connor reportedly blames the bosses of the music industry for the tragic demise of Amy Winehouse. Claiming that the soulful singer was treated worse than animal whilst she's in the worst time of her life.

The 'Nothing Compares To You' hit maker allegedly accused the industry bosses of taking advantage of the 'Back to Black' star by forcing her to tour even when she was in her vulnerable stage, the Contact Music reports.

The site claims that O'Connor suspicions started when Winehouse estimated net worth went to £6 million in 2011, despite her released albums sold millions around the globe.

After doing her math, O'Connor wrote on her Facebook page, insisting that Winehouse worth when she died was a little bit low compare to the number of record deals she closed while she still alive.

She wrote, "As an aside, does anyone else think its odd that Amy Winehouse was only worth 6 million quid when she died? Do the maths. Have a look at the points in her publishing and recording contracts. How many records did she sell? How many tours was she marched out to do out (sic) despite being clearly unwell? If you did it to an animal you'd be locked up."

At the age of 27, Amy Winehouse died of accidental alcohol poisoning in July 2011.

Winehouse is mostly remembered for her songs 'Rehab' and 'Valerie.' In 2006, the pop singer won five Grammy Awards for her 'Back to Black' album.

Earlier this month a documentary about Winehouse life was released in cinemas, which was a box office hit in the UK. Mark Ronson, who used to work with the late singer referred Winehouse as "one of the best lyricists of this generation". Talking about the documentary film and remembering Winehouse by the time he worked with her.
