Amy Winehouse was "freaked out" by Adele's worldwide success, Mark Ronson has claimed.
The producer believes Winehouse felt "competitive" towards Adele following the huge international success of 21, but maintained that the late star was also a fan.
"She was in a bad state, God knows why," Ronson told The Village Voice. "I think that the Adele thing had Amy freaked out.
"She liked her, but Adele's success was making Amy feel upset, competitive, restless. Anyway, we lost touch briefly. And before she and I could really start the process of beginning a new album, it was too late.''
Adele's 21 recently became the fifth best-selling album in UK music history, overtaking Michael Jackson's Thriller.
The collection is also the best-selling album of the 21st century, with Winehouse's Back To Black in second place.
this should have NEVER been said. Way to make Adele feel bad.
Why would Adele feel bad? If this is true, Amy was getting a little competitive.
She probably saw how well Adele is doing and got anxious to work on new material, that's all.
Unfortunately, Amy was already on her way out.
Mark is a ****ing asshole for doing this, ****ing bulshit. How could he know this if they weren't even speaking during that time? I doubt Amy would care about Adele's success. He should just shut up and stop trying to make up stories using her name.

because the artical made it sound like her jealousy over Adele helped lead to her demise
