Her father Mitch Winehouse has confirmed that an unveiling ceremony will take place on Sept. 14, which would have been his daughter’s 31st birthday.
The statue will include information on how to donate to Amy’s charitable foundation.
Amy’s memorial statue was originally slated to be located at the Roundhouse, but the location was ultimately changed.
Mitch said in a statement: “The Roundhouse would have been great as Amy and the Foundation have a great affinity with the venue, but it would not always have been accessible for fans.
“We wanted people to be able to see it, touch and interact. Now Amy will oversee the comings and goings of her home town forever.
“Amy was in love with Camden and it is the place her fans from all over the world associate her with. The family have always been keen to have a memorial for her in the place she loved the most, which will provide fans a place to visit and attract people to the area.”
