The jazz and blues singer was a much-loved and commonly sighted figure in the north London borough and her father Mitch Winehouse said he could not think of anywhere more appropriate for a memorial for his daughter.
“I had a meeting with Camden council and they told me they don’t usually allow statues until 20 years after someone has died but in Amy’s case they made an exception” he said.
The statue will be unveiled on September 14 which would have been the singer’s 31st birthday.
