Amy Winehouse died in 2011 due to alcohol poisoning
A statue dedicated to singer Amy Winehouse will be unveiled near her home in Camden, north London, on September 14 this year to mark her 31st birth anniversary. The Back to Black hitmaker died three years ago, at the age of 27, from alcohol poisoning, reported Guardian online.
Amy's bronze statue will depict the singer posing with a hand on her hip and sporting her famous beehive hairdo. It will be put on display at the Stables Market in Camden, but the star's father Mitch Winehouse originally wanted it to be located at famous music venue, The Roundhouse.
"Amy was in love with Camden, and it is the place her fans from all over the world associate her with. The family has always been keen to have a memorial for her at the place she loved the most, which will provide fans a place to visit, and attract people to the area," Mr Winehouse said.
The statue has been designed by sculptor Scott Eaton, and also features donation information for the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was set up by the singer's family following her death in 2011.
