The father of the late Amy Winehouse has called time on plans to create a stage show based on his daughter's tragic life and music career.

Stage bosses in Denmark had started to work on the production, which was meant to launch at the Danish Royal Theatre in Copenhagen next year, and it was set to include music from Winehouse's well-loved albums.

Chiefs at copyright agency Koda had originally granted permission for the music and photographs needed for the show, but Mitch Winehouse and a team of lawyers have now revoked access and shut it down.

Speaking to the Associated Press, Koda spokesperson Nicolaj Hylten-Cavallius explained: "We acted in good faith when we gave them the permission for the performance."

"We believed that the format - a theatre play - was Ok. We were told by her father and the lawyers around him that we can forget all about the rights for the music, the photos, branding and everything."
