Amy Winehouse’s dad still feels her presence with him. Mitch Winehouse is convinced the spirit of his late daughter, who was found dead in her London home last July aged 27, will be with him at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, where she is posthumously nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for Body and Soul, her duet with Tony Bennett. Mitch said, “I’m a firm believer in life after death and she’s with me all the time. She’ll definitely be there. I’m most looking forward to picking up Amy and Tony Bennett’s Grammy.”

Tony added, “Absolutely, yes she’ll be there. She’s a great, great artist. I made a wonderful recording with her. That was her last record.” In 2008, Amy scooped five Grammy Awards Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the single Rehab, Best Pop Vocal Album for Back to Black and Best New Artist, and performed at the ceremony via a satellite link up. Mitch says the ceremony was always important to Amy, particularly after her record-breaking haul of wins four years ago. He told E! News, “That night at the Grammys was pivotal for her because she realised what a talent she was.”
