Bennett: Winehouse knew death was near

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- American singer Tony Bennett says Amy Winehouse suspected death was around the corner when she recorded a duet with him last spring.

Winehouse died in July at the age of 27 after years of drug and alcohol abuse.

Bennett discussed working with the troubled British soul singer on his "Duets II" CD during an interview on "The Daily Show" Thursday night.

"She knew that she was in a lot of trouble, that she wasn't going to live," EW.com quoted Bennett as saying.

Proceeds from the sale of "Body and Soul," the song Bennett and Winehouse recorded together, are expected to benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation, the entertainment news Web site said.
