Today is a special day as the world pays tribute to the incredible Amy Winehouse on what would have been her 40th birthday. Camden Market is the place to be today, as it transforms into a hub of love and remembrance for the legendary singer.
Starting at midday on Thursday, the market will be adorned with pink carnations, a symbol of Amy’s grace and passion. Right beside Camden’s iconic statue of Amy, you’ll have the opportunity to leave your heartfelt birthday wishes for this musical powerhouse as a beautiful way to honor her memory and legacy.
All support is going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which has been changing the lives of young people for an incredible 12 years. All the proceeds from the sale of carnations will go directly to the foundation, continuing Amy’s mission to make the world a better place.
Amy’s original band is reuniting for a sensational show at KOKO this December! Mark your calendars for the 14th of September when tickets go live. It’s an event you won’t want to miss, a chance to relive her timeless hits in all their glory.
Amy’s journey was one filled with ups and downs, triumphs and tribulations. A decade ago, her family and fans were left heartbroken when she tragically passed away after an alcohol binge alone in her bedroom, discovered by her security guard. Despite years of battling drug abuse, she had managed to stay clean at the time of her untimely death.
There have been many theories and accusations surrounding her struggles, with some pointing fingers at her tumultuous relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil. He admitted to introducing her to heroin, and many have held him responsible for her Class A drug addiction.
Amy Winehouse’s meteoric rise to fame started with the release of “Frank” in 2003. Her unique jazz-inspired vocals captured the hearts of music enthusiasts and critics alike. Three years later, she reached even greater heights with her second album, “Back To Black.” It was an album that resonated deeply with listeners worldwide.
However, the dazzling career of this London-born icon was marred by her personal demons, including her battles with addiction, alcoholism, and eating disorders, as revealed by her brother Alex. These struggles tragically contributed to her untimely passing.
As we come together to celebrate Amy’s 40th birthday, let’s remember the extraordinary talent, the indomitable spirit, and the profound impact she had on the world of music.
