Amy Winehouse’s Foundation Remembers Her on 13th Anniversary of Her Death: ‘Forever in Our Hearts’
Amy Winehouse’s legacy still lives on 13 years after her tragic death.
On Tuesday, the late singer’s foundation — a charity for young people set up by her family in 2011 — honored her by posting a sweet tribute on social media. “23rd July 2011 ♥️ 13 years on and Amy’s light burns brighter than ever,” the caption reads. “Her legacy continues through her music, our work with young people and in our hearts.”
Winehouse’s official social media accounts also remembered her by sharing a series of throwback black-and-white photos captioned, “14.09.1983 – 23.07.2011 🖤 Forever in our hearts. Join us this week in celebrating and remembering the late, great Amy Jade Winehouse.”
Winehouse — who left a massive mark on the music industry with her soulful vocals and her best-selling 2006 album Back to Black — died from accidental alcohol poisoning in her London home on July 23, 2011, at just 27 years old.
Her U.S. record label at the time confirmed the news in a statement that read, “We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer. Our prayers go out to Amy’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time.”
According to those who were closest to the “Rehab” singer, she spent most of her music career trying to overcome her struggles with drug and alcohol addiction and long-term bulimia, and fame didn’t make the challenge any easier.
