A statue of late singer Amy Winehouse was unveiled in London on what would have been her 31^st birthday. It was part of a ceremony that took place at Camden Stables Market. Her parents were at the unveiling and were deeply touched by the gesture. Scott Eaton was the sculptor and also at the event. “I’ve always been a fan of Amy’s music and have the upmost respect for her as an artist. From a sculptor’s perspective, Amy has an amazing style and energy.”

Winehouse was a talented but troubled singer and songwriter. She released her first album Frank in 2003. But it was her second album Back to Black that garnered her international success. It was released in 2006 and became the bestselling album of 2007 in the UK. It received critical and commercial acclaim, nominated for several Grammy awards, and the singles Rehab and You Know I’m No Good were big hits. Winehouse was known for her trademark beehive hairstyle and thick eyeliner. Her music was a mix of jazz, soul, and R&B.

She was also known for her substance abuse problems. Winehouse drank heavily and used drugs like heroin, cocaine, and ecstasy. The singer admitted that she had depression, eating disorders, and would do self-harm. She also had legal problems. Her issues would get the best of her in 2011, when she died at the age of 27 of alcohol poisoning. Fans and major artists mourned and paid tribute to the musician.

The statue depicts Winehouse with her beehive hairdo in a short, strapless dress with a wide belt and platform high heels. In her hair is a real red rose. Fans and press surrounded the event paying tribute to the soulful singer. Her life had a tragic end, gone too soon, but her memory lives on.
