Overview
- Camden marked the 15th anniversary with concerts at the Stables Market amphitheatre near Winehouse’s bronze statue and events that raised funds for the Winehouse Foundation.
- Amy Winehouse, who died on July 23, 2011 at age 27 from alcohol-related causes, left a brief but award-filled catalog including Frank and Back to Black that continues to influence artists.
- The Sam Taylor-Johnson film Back to Black, available on Prime Video and led by Marisa Abela’s performance, has drawn renewed attention to Winehouse’s life and the way it is portrayed on screen.
- An April court ruling in a long-running dispute over Winehouse memorabilia favored her friends Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay, and Blake Fielder-Civil’s March interview saying he does not feel responsible has added public context to debates about her decline.
- Younger British singers such as Sienna Spiro are being compared to Winehouse even as peers and industry figures warn that the 'new Amy' label is reductive and that her legacy is better seen as a reshaping of modern British soul.
