Camden Council have given the go-ahead to the plans to install a statue of late singer Amy Winehouse in the borough.
Artist Scott Easton's sculpture of the singer has been in the works for some time but, according to the Camden New Journal, Camden Town Conservation Authority had stated its opposition to the proposal. However, after a meeting earlier this week, local councillors approved the project and the statue will now be installed at a balcony in at Camden's Roundhouse venue this September.
Amy Winehouse is to be the subject of a new documentary from the director of Senna, it has been confirmed.
The as yet untitled film will be directed by Asif Kapadia, who directed the 2010 film Senna, about Formula 1 driver, Ayrton Senna.
James Gay-Rees, who produced the Banksy documentary Exit Through The Gift Shop is also attached to the project.
Mitch Winehouse has revealed that there are plans to release two more posthumous albums by Amy Winehouse.
In an interview with BBC 6 Music, the late singer's father said that there was more unreleased material which wasn't used on last year's 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures' collection, but insisted he didn’t want to disappoint his daughter's fans by releasing "dross".
Pete Doherty has spoken about his reaction to the death of Amy Winehouse and has revealed that he was "wallowing in his own filth" when he heard the news that the 'Back To Black' singer was dead.
The final album, compiling offcuts into heartbreaking shape...This is, perhaps, the most gruelling album review I’ve ever had to write. It’s a record by a dead person who I met, and really liked, and fully expected to meet and like again. The Amy Winehouse I interviewed in late 2003 was an insanely charismatic and shamelessly frank 20-year-old who looked like a Jewish punk Jessica Rabbit and wore pink ballet shoes so worn her toes poked through.
