In September of 2014, a bronze statue of singer Amy Winehouse was revealed in Camden Stables Market. The singer was from Camden and lived there until she died aged 27 from alcohol poisioning in the summer of 2011. The statue portrays a life-size Amy. It shows her with her signature beehive hair style and high heels. A real flower can be placed in her hair. When I visited, it was a red flower with a red band, but it was traditionally a rose when the statue was placed in the market.
Amy would have been 31 years of age when the statue was placed in Stables Market. The plaque at her feet commemorates a framed birthday photograph, and others have placed woven bracelets on her wrists and a flower at her feet.
I love her music and her death was such a big loss. I miss what other hits she could have made that I and others would have listened to. Rest in peace, Amy.
