Amy Winehouse’s family to release her biography on her birthday

Amy Winehouse is making headlines, even after more than a decade after her death.

As her 40th birthday approaches next month, Winehouse’s family decided to celebrate it in the most meaningful and special way.

They are releasing a new biography in her honor 12 years after her death.

The English singer who was known for her oversized beehive, wing-tipped eyeliner, and many tattoos was one of the most recognizable pop culture icons of her time.

The artist who died young in July 2011 is still famous for her songs like Rehab, Back to Black, and Tears Dry on Their Own.”

Now, her family is revealing her personal side to her fans in a new book called Amy Winehouse: In Her Words.

The book which consists of never-before-seen pics, journal entries, and handwritten letters and poems will be published on August 29. It is just some days before what would have been the musician’s 40th birthday. Her family shared exclusive rare images and excerpts with People.

Her dad, Mitch Winehouse said,

“We always wanted the world to know the real Amy, where she came from and what made her tick,”
“In all aspects she was just a normal Jewish kid from North London, who did normal kid things, went to drama class, loved her grandma, her mum and dad, loved her brother.”

A glimpse into Winehouse’s biography

The family also said that royalties from the book will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, the charity they created 12 years ago on her birthday on September 14, just weeks after she died of accidental alcohol poisoning.

Mitch, 72, hopes this book will give the singer’s fans “a real insight into Amy’s personality.”

He said,

“She was a loyal, generous friend. She’d help anybody… Just a wonderful human being who saw the best in everybody.”

Here’s a glimpse of an exclusive excerpt from the book’s foreword which is written by her parents, Mitch and Janis.

”Many artists talk about waiting for the perfect song to drop into their lap from the heavens. For them, writing is a labor of love, but for Amy, songs seemed to fall easily. Every now and then it was as if a lightbulb went on in her head. She’d disappear to a quiet place for a while and put together a few chords. A song would emerge, then a whole album. “How do you do it? Do you write the melodies or the lyrics first?” Mitch asked her one day. “Oh, come on, Dad! Everyone can do it!” she laughed. Except everyone couldn’t. That was Amy — she had very little understanding of just how brilliant she was. Famously in one interview, she said of Janis: “I thought everyone could sing, until I heard my mum.”
”It wasn’t until after Amy’s passing, when we started sifting through her writings and drawings collected from her early childhood, that we started to understand more of how, behind that casual attitude, Amy had been carefully honing her talent for years.”
