Amy Winehouse: 'There is no more new music', says father Mitch
Mitch Winehouse - Amy's father - during an interview with BBC News explained that - even if there are some unheard versions of Amy's most-loved material in the archives - he would not want to "rip-off" fans and release them.
He said: "We're not about to put out new albums with different takes on 'Back To Black'. She probably did 15 different versions of 'Back To Black' but we wouldn't do that, it's not fair. We don't want to rip people off. There is no more new music".
The statement came on September 14, when a statue of Amy was unveiled in London's Camden on what would have been the singer's 31st birthday. The life-size memorial was designed by Scott Eaton and was erected at the Stables Market, not far from the house where the singer died in July 2011.
The sculpture at first was going to be located at the Roundhouse venue, but it was later decided to move it to the market, to make it more accessible. Mitch Winehouse said the site was a more positive memorial for his daughter, and will divert fans paying respects to the singer away from her former house, which he says has "bad memories for everyone".
