Amy WineHouse
Amy Winehouse passed away at the young age of 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning eight months ago and did not leave a will. Her parents Mitch and Jane Winehouse will inherit her $4.66 million estate. Winehouse struggled for many years with drugs and alcohol. She was just as famous for her bizarre behavior, legal problems and struggles with drugs and alcohol as she was for her unique voice and talent. When Winehouse passed away she did not have a will so her parents will inherit the money by default. Winehouse was at one time married to Blake Fielder-Civil, but the couple was divorced and he is not entitled to any money from Winehouse's estate. Although Winehouse struggled with drugs and alcohol that affected her career and that she spent a fair amount of money on, she had 6.7 million left in her estate. After debt and taxes, the estate is left with $4.66 million. Reuters

It was said by all who worked with Amy that she never sang or played a song the same way twice, said the release that announced the disc launch, It quickly became apparent to Salaam and Mark that they had a collection of songs that deserved to be heard, a collection of songs that were a fitting testament to Amy the artist and, as importantly, Amy their friend.

If the family had felt that this album wasn't up to the standard of Frank and Back To Black we would never have agreed to release it and we believe it will stand as a fitting tribute to Amy's musical legacy, Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse, said in the Island Records statement.
