Bloody hell! A painting smeared with Amy Winehouse's blood is going on the auction block tomorrow (May 11.)
In between handing out odd-looking trophies last night, the 2012 BRIT Awards took time to remember two talented female vocalists who passed away within the past year, Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse accepted a posthumous Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her duet with Tony Bennett, 'Body and Soul.' Amy's parents, Mitch and Janis Winehouse, accepted her trophy for her following an understated introduction from Bennett.
Amy Winehouse's July 23 death was ruled "death by misadventure" and an "unintended consequence" of consuming too much alcohol, according to the findings of a coroner. Just when we thought Mitch Winehouse and his family, as well as the singer's fans, would be able to achieve some closure over her death at 27, some shocking and disturbing news surrounding the inquest has been revealed. Turns out coroner Suzanne Greenaway does not have the qualifications and requirements necessary to have performed the inquest and it may ultimately be ruled invalid as a result!
Jean Paul Gaultier was trying to pay the utmost respect to the late Amy Winehouse with his clothing line, inspired by the singer, but after setting it on the runway in Paris on Wednesday, some people are wondering if he was able to pull it off.
Amy Winehouse's tragic death this July is still being mourned by those closest to her, but it also spurned her loved ones to action. Amy's beloved father, Mitch Winehouse, established the Amy Winehouse Foundation in her honor after her passing. Mitch is now organizing an A-list tribute concert in honor of the late 'Back to Black' chanteuse, with all proceeds going to the charity.
Amy Winehouse passed away in July, but her music is still very much in our hearts, as evidenced by the strong chart showing enjoyed by her recently released posthumous album 'Lioness.' Since Ms. Winehouse was nothing if not a diva, it's only fitting that she'll receive the tribute treatment during this year's 'VH1 Divas' telecast.
The rumors regarding a possible movie about Amy Winehouse's life seem to change daily. Amy's dad Mitch is responding to some of the misinformation, saying that a biopic about his daughter's life is still a possibility, but that he never claimed that he wants Lady Gaga to play Amy.
Well before she had completely descended into the addiction that ultimately took her life, Amy Winehouse was a masterful performer. Footage from her performances always showcase her incredible talent, rather than the tabloid antics for which she became notorious. One of her best-loved tracks is 'Tears Dry on Their Own, and recently released video from Vevo shows the raspy-voiced lioness performing a devastating rendition of the track at an Irish music festival.
