Lady GaGa revealed her thoughts about Amy Winehouse's recent death. Singer claimed that she felt very sorry for Amy. She also said that mass media was partly responsible for what happened, as journalists have put too much pressure on Amy.

"The thing that we can learn from this is how the media spin things. I don't feel that Amy needed to learn any lessons. I felt that the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar. Everybody was so hard on her", said Lady GaGa.

She added: "I'm just so devastated and so sad. I really couldn't speak for 48 hours straight I was in such shock".

Singer also announced that she would collaborate with famous Jazz singer Tony Bennett – together they will record a song for his upcoming album Duets II.

Amy Winehouse's second studio effort Back To Black has topped the British sales chart for the last week. According to the list that was revealed on July 31, the album has rapidly climbed up following singer's death.

Amy's debut studio effort Frank has also made it to the Top-10, finishing on the fifth place.
