‘Amy's with me ALL THE TIME'

Mitch Winehouse on how he is keeping the memory of his superstar daughter alive

Thursday 23 July will mark nine years since the world lost singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, aged just 27, from alcohol poisoning. But her father Mitch Winehouse is determined that she will never be forgotten.

‘She’s not gone, she’s with me all the time,’ the 69-year-old taxi driver said when he appeared on Loose Women. ‘Lovely spiritual stuff. She comes to me a lot, and mum and dad, too. It’s not shocking – it’s the most wonderful feeling of knowing somebody is there.’

Mitch has also said that he, Amy’s mum Janis – to whom he was married from 1976 to 1993 – and Amy’s friends still cry thinking about her, but also remember the funny times.
