Amy Winehouse Foundation Announces Benefit Concert

The Amy Winehouse Foundation has announced that a benefit concert is to take place in 2012.

As of yet no acts have been confirmed.

Mitch Winehouse said: “The Amy Winehouse Foundation is very excited to be planning a benefit concert in tribute to Amy later this year.

“Thanks to everyone for their interest and for sharing our enthusiasm for the idea.

“We should make it clear that no artists have yet been approached to take part.

“We will be talking to a variety of people in the coming months and will announce those performing as soon as we can.”

    I really hope that lots of the proceeds from this go to help young people with addictions get the support they need. I applaud the work of the other charities, but these young people need help, and they get very little. And it is fitting . I would like to see an update on the site about this aspect of the Amy Winehouse Foundation’s work please. I have just bought 2 copies of the Lioness album, thinking the £2 from those 2 sales would go to this type of work, but I now see it will go to the childrens hospice in Ireland???

    Jools Holland did such a brilliant tribute, true also about Paul Weller below, but Jools should be part of the concert. And Amy loved him I think

  • Jools Dromgoole

    Paul Weller was brilliant on Jools Holland with Amy. He would be a fantastic headliner.
