Mitch Winehouse for Amy tribute concert at Royal Albert Hall

Amy Winehouse's father Mitch will honour her with a special tribute concert set for later this year in London. 

To pay tribute to the life of his daughter, the 'Back To Black' singer, Mitch will perform at the Royal Albert Hall in October in support of Matt Goss. 

Mitch, a keen vocalist with a jazz infused album already under his belt, revealed that he was asked to open up for the former Bros star and decided to use the opportunity to promote his work for The Amy Winehouse Foundation. He said:

"Through setting up the foundation in Amy's memory I have to come to realise that I can sing for Amy and raise money for her foundation, so when Matt Goss called me to ask me to open his show at the Royal Albert Hall this was a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness for the foundation."

"I immediately felt a strong rapport with Matt and he told me how he tragically lost his sister Caroline at a young age. I shared with Matt that Amy was a huge fan of Bros when she was a little girl and had their posters on her wall. These are warm memories and we agreed that the show would be a joyous occasion in memory of both his sister and Amy."

The event will take place on October 21 at the Royal Albert Hall and tickets are now available. Watch Mitch's video for his single, 'April In Paris', here:
