Are you alright?

How you doing? You okay?

What's going on with you

at the moment?

'Cause obviously,

Frank was last year, um,

and we haven't really heard much

from you since then.

So when are we gonna hear

from you next?

What's the next single?

Uh, I can't think

of the next single.

I'm just gonna write

the next album at the minute.

- Uh...

- You having that kind

- of writer's block thing or...

- Yeah, man.

It's hard to write, because, uh,

you can write

a million things a day,

but it's hard to write

something that you're proud of.

So I'm just trying, you know,

I'm just trying.

I asked to see her.

She was late

and she came in with Nicky.

She was a character.

She always called me

Uncle Lucian.

And I really liked her.

And I had enough

of a relationship with her.

So there's no flattery,

it was, like, blunt. And I said,

"Enough, I need another album.

"Now go and write one.

This is horseshit.

"Frank was then, this is now.

They're all gonna forget you."

She didn't like it.

- Nick Shymansky.

- Yes.

Sit up a bit.

- Yes.

- How are you today, darling?

Very good, actually. Thanks.

- How about you?

- Really good.

In between all this,

she decided that she wanted me

to leave 19 with Simon Fuller

to go manage her.

She didn't like being connected

with Pop Idol

and the Spice Girls,

but I thought it would be

incredibly disloyal,

at this point, to walk away.

And Blake was

very quickly becoming

a bigger and bigger character

in all this.

She was with him the whole time

and didn't want

to go to places without him.

We spent the summer together.

She used to say

we're like twins.

And that was our relationship.

I'd like to sabotage myself

and I think Amy

liked to sabotage herself.

Maybe that was our nature.

I used to ask her

why was she promiscuous

and why she was more like a man

with sex.

It's indicative of somebody

that's had a traumatic event,

maybe sexually, themselves.

Sort of made sense to me

from the way she was.

She'd just say, "It's nothing."

"I weren't abused

when I was a kid.

Nothing like that."

Then she said

her dad leaving her mum

was what caused this,

and her

not really seeing her dad.

I understood.

I cut my wrists

when I was nine years old.

I don't know if I wanted

to necessarily die,

I just wanted my mum

to leave my stepdad.

Me and Amy were quite similar.

I fell in love with

someone who I would've died for.

We were in love

and we were together.

And that's like a real drug,

isn't it?

If my man was fighting

Some unholy war

I would be behind him

Straight shook up beside him

With strength he didn't know

It's you I'm fighting for

He can't lose

With me in tow
