Last week we told you that Amy Winehouse’s famous Camden house had been put on the market and now it’s thought her parents are planning to erect a bronze statue of her in Camden. The singer’s family want the statue to be in located at the Roundhouse and they are currently in talks with the bosses there. Her father Mitch spoke last week about initially wanting to place a memorial bench in Camden Square, where she lived. "Amy was in love with Camden," Mitch said, "but for us, it is a place that we associate with [both] heartbreak and love, because we loved Amy dearly. "We wanted to have a bench in her memory outside her house in Camden Square, but there are so many hoops you have to jump through to do that." Mitch’s wife Jane confirmed the plans for the statue: "We're in very early discussions. It wouldn't go up till at least 2013, but for those who loved Amy's music and all those who knew her around Camden, it'll be something very special to remember her by." Mitch continued: "It will be bronze, lifesize, and on the first-floor balcony next to the Roundhouse bar, "[We'd like to have] Amy leaning over the balcony and looking, and perhaps pointing, towards Camden Town from Chalk Farm Road." We like the sound of that, don’t you? Let’s just hope there’s no issue with the planning permission.
