Kelly Osbourne, Mark Ronson & Others Attend Amy Winehouse’s Funeral + Amy’s Dad Releases Statement

Tuesday, close family and friends honored the late Amy Winehouse. The service for the cremation of Amy Winehouse took place in London at the Golders Green Crematorium. Amy’s father, Mitch Winehouse, released a statement after the funeral and cremation. Here’s an excerpt:

“Amy was the greatest daughter, family member and friend you could ever have. I will talk a lot about her fantastic recovery. Recently Amy found love with Reg. He helped her with her problems and Amy was looking forward to their future together. She was the happiest she has been for years…3 years ago, Amy conquered her drug dependency, the doctors said it was impossible but she really did it. She was trying hard to deal with her drinking and had just completed 3 weeks of abstinence…She was not depressed. She saw Janis and Reg on Friday and was in good spirits. That night, she was in her room, playing drums and singing. As it was late, her security guard said to keep it quiet and she did. He heard her walking around for a while and when he went to check on her in the morning he thought she was asleep. He went back a few hours later, that was when he realized she was not breathing and called for help. But knowing she wasn’t depressed, knowing she passed away, knowing she passed away happy, it makes us all feel better….”
