Mitch Winehouse to pen book on Amy's life

Mitch Winehouse has revealed that he has signed a deal with book publishers HarperCollins to write a memoir about his daughter. 

The tragic singer died back in July and her father wants to celebrate her life by writing about it and will donate all of the proceeds from its sales to The Amy Winehouse Foundation. He opened up about the project and said:

"I feel that I need to write this book to tell the true story of Amy and to help with my personal recovery. I also want to raise as much money as possible for Amy's foundation, so all proceeds from the book will go directly to help children who are disadvantaged through illness and substance addiction."

"I believe that through Amy's music, her foundation, and this book, her name will live forever."
