A
life-size
bronze
statue
of
late

Winehouse
was

town
neighborhood
in

London
on
the
occasion
of
her
31st

anniversary.
Winehouse's
parents,
Mitch
and
Janis
Winehouse,
and
fans
gathered
to
remember
the
late
singer
Sunday,
reports
The
Guardian.
"I'll
be
coming
to
visit
it
all
the
time.
It
was
difficult
to
see
the
sculpture
at
first
but
I'm
getting
used
to
it.
It
looks
just
beautiful," he
said
in
an
interview
with
The
Guardian,
planting
a
kiss
on
the
statues
cheek.
"It's
just
a
wow,
a
definite
wow,"
Winehouse's
Mother
said
in
the
interview
with
The
Guardian.
"It's
a
day
of
incredibly
mixed
emotions.
They
don't
put
statues
up
for
people
who
are
with
us
anymore
so
it
reinforces
the
fact
that
physically
she's
gone
but
spiritually
she'll
never
leave
us.
I
feel
sad,
very,
very
sad,"
Mitch
said.
Created
by
sculptor
Scott
Eaton,
the
statue
is
mostly
colourless
--
aside
from
a
red
rose
in
Winehouse's
signature
beehive
hairdo.
Scott
told
BBC,
"meant
to
capture
her
attitude
and
strength,
but
also
give
subtle
hints
of
insecurity."
he
tried
to
show
the
insecurity
of
the
late
singer
with
the
details
of
the
in
turned
foot,
hand
holding
the
skirt
and
expressions.
Winehouse
died
at
the
age
of
27
in
July
2011
due
