Amy Winehouse statue to be erected in Camden

A statue of late singer Amy Winehouse will be unveiled in Camden next month.

The singer, who passed away in 2011 as a result of alcohol poisoning, held the London region dearly in her heart.

A statue of Winehouse will soon be erected in the Stables Market and it will be officially unveiled on September 14 - her birthday.

It was originally planned to stand in the Roundhouse venue, but father Mitch said in a statement:

"The Roundhouse would have been great as Amy and the Foundation have a great affinity with the venue, but it would not always have been accessible for fans, we wanted people to be able to see it, touch and interact.

"Now Amy will oversee the comings and goings of her home town forever. Amy was in love with Camden and it is the place her fans from all over the world associate her with. The family have always been keen to have a memorial for her in the place she loved the most, which will provide fans a place to visit and attract people to the area."
