We believed every word she wrote, and it would sink in deep when she sang them. Amy paved the way for artists like me and made people excited about British music again whilst being fearlessly hilarious and blase about the whole thing. I don’t think she ever realized just how brilliant she was and how important she is, but that just makes her even more charming. Although I’m incredibly sad about Amy passing, I’m also reminded of how immensely proud of her I am as well — and grateful to be inspired by her. Amy flies in paradise. -Adele
