A life size bronze statue of Amy Winehouse could be put up in a venue near her home.

Plans are being considered for the singer, who died in her house in Camden, North London, last year, to be remembered with a monument at the Roundhouse concert hall.

A spokesman for the venue said: ”We think it’s important that Amy’s contribution to music is recognised in Camden, but the idea is in its early stages of development at the moment.”

The Back To Black star, who fought a lengthy drink and drugs battle, was a well-known on the area’s music scene.

Her father Mitch told the Camden New Journal: ”It will be bronze, life-size, and on the first-floor balcony next to the Roundhouse bar. What we’d like to have is Amy leaning over the balcony and looking, and perhaps pointing, towards Camden Town from Chalk Farm Road.”

The family is confident in gaining planning permission but are unsure about how it will be funded.
