A life-size statue of Amy Winehouse is to be put up near to where the singer lived in north London.

The bronze, which shows Amy complete with her trademark beehive hairdo will be unveiled in Camden on September the 14th - which would have been her birthday.

The star, who fought a public battle with drink and drugs, was found dead at her home in 2011 aged 27.

The original plan was for the statue to be placed in the Roundhouse music venue in Camden Town, north London, but it will now be in the nearby Stables Market.

Her family set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation to help young people with problems including addiction.
