Amy Winehouse Statue Unveiled in London on Her 31st Birthday
The late Amy Winehouse's life-sized statue had been unveiled during her 31st birthday. Her relatives and fans traveled just to witness the event. Winehouse's statue was shown in short dress with a belt, high heels, and the singer's signature beehive hairstyle with red rose.
"It is like stopping her in a beautiful moment in time. We really hope Amy's fans love the statue," Mitch Winehouse, Amy's father said adding that seeing her daughter's statue was incredibly emotional.
"The pose had to capture Amy's attitude and strength, but also give subtle hints of insecurity," Scott Eaton, London-based sculptor commented. "The hand on the hip, the turn of the head, the grabbing of the skirt, the turned-in foot -- these are all small elements that contribute to the personality of the piece," he added.
However, the statue did not please everyone.
"I'm a massive fan of Amy Winehouse but I don't like the statue," said one Twitter user named under niamhie_c.
"The only problem with the statue of Amy Winehouse is that is looks absolutely nothing like Amy Winehouse," commented LouboutinJools.
Despite the negative feedback on her statue actress Barbara Windsor, who knows Amy very well, has this to say about the late singer:
"I've been in this business for 66 years now and I've had many honours throughout my career, but this is the greatest honour. I was one of the fortunate people who got to know Amy in the last few years of her too short life. Not only was she one of the greatest talents that this country has ever produced, she was a warm, lovely kind and fun lady. She was what we call in our business a superb bird, that's what she was. Amy loved Camden with a passion and Camden loved her so it's only right her presence should remain here."
Amy Winehouse is a critically-acclaimed singer and songwriter who died due to alcohol poisoning. She died last July 23, 2011 at the age of 27. She was found 12 hours after her death beside her laptop and with two empty bottles of vodka on the floor. The statue is a tribute to her significant contribution to the musical industry.
