A statue of the late singing star Amy Winehouse is being considered.

The idea of erecting a statue in honour of the 'Back To Black' singer is currently being looked into by London venue the Roundhouse, which is located in Camden.

A spokesman for the venue said that they felt her contribution to music in the local area should be recognised. They said:

"We think it's important that Amy's contribution to music is recognised in Camden, but the idea is in its early stages of development at the moment."

Winehouse's father Mitch meanwhile told the Camden New Journal about the plans. He said:

"It will be bronze, life-size, and on the first-floor balcony next to the Roundhouse bar. What we'd like to have is Amy leaning over the balcony and looking, and perhaps pointing, towards Camden Town from Chalk Farm Road."
