A life-size bronze statue of singer Amy Winehouse was unveiled in Camden, north London on Sunday three years after her death which coincides with what would have been her 31st birthday.

Family, friends and fans were there to honour the singer who died tragically after battling drug and alcohol abuse.

Her father, Mitch Winehouse, said “It’s a day of incredibly mixed emotions ladies and gentlemen. They don’t put statues up to people that are with us anymore, so it kind reinforces the fact that physically she’s gone. But spiritually, she’ll never leave us.”

The statue was designed by Scott Eaton and features the Back to Black star with her hand on hip and her distinctive hairdo.

“Amy was about attitude. She was small but she had big personality.” Eaton said.
