Fans Outraged As Winehouse's Dad Sells Her Dress


 


Amy Winehouse left behind a £3million fortune following her death last year, it has been revealed.

The singer, who was 27, had an estate worth £4,257,580, which was reduced to £2,944,554 after paid debts and taxes.

The full amount will go to Amy's parents Mitch and Janis Winehouse, as the Rehab singer did not make a will.

Her father Mitch is the administrator of her estate, according to newly-released probate documents.

Amy's former husband Blake Fielder-Civil will not receive any of the estate.
 
Winehouse passed away in July last year from alcohol poisoning at her flat in Camden, with an inquest recording a verdict of misadventure.

She had fought a lengthy battle with drugs and alcohol addiction.

Meanwhile fans of the Grammy-winner took to Twitter last night to voice their disapproval over Mitch Winehouse, 60, appearing on Channel 4 show Four Rooms to sell one of his daughter's dresses, despite the proceeds going to charity.

Mitch hoped to raise money for the charity Hopes And Dreams by selling an autographed frock worn by the singer at a concert in Brazil in January 2011

'Not overtly comfortable with Mitch Winehouse going on #FourRooms to sell Amy's dress. Just not right,' one fan tweeted.

Another wrote: 'Mitch Winehouse just sold Amy's dress on Four Rooms channel Four. Why not the ashes Mitch? #sick'

One tweeter hit back: 'Love people claiming Mitch Winehouse is "flogging his dead daughters dress" when she had already donated it to charity. Listen you idiots.
