Amy Winehouse's parents, Mitch and Janis Winehouse, reunited on Wednesday (23 July 2025) to pay tribute to the late singer on the 14th anniversary of her death. The couple visited her grave at Edgwarebury Cemetery in north London, accompanied by family, friends, and fans who left flowers and messages.
Mitch Winehouse, 74, used a walking stick during the visit, while Janis, 70, was supported by a mobility walker, according to reports. The parents divorced in 1993 when Amy was nine, but have remained close since her death in 2011.
Following two inquests, Amy's death was ruled accidental due to alcohol poisoning. The singer had struggled with addiction for years, undergoing multiple rehabilitation attempts, and her parents organised nine interventions to help her.
After her death, Mitch and his second wife Jane, together with Janis, founded the Amy Winehouse Foundation to support young people affected by substance misuse. Amy's landmark 2006 album Back to Black earned international acclaim and five Grammy Awards, including Record and Song of the Year for 'Rehab'.
In 2023, a biopic about Amy's life was released, starring Marisa Abela. The film faced criticism from some friends, including musician Neon Hitch, who called it 'ridiculous' and 'tasteless'. Friends also criticised Mitch's decision to allow the Camden flat where Amy lived to be used for filming scenes depicting her 2008 overdose.
