In a heartfelt tribute to the iconic Amy Winehouse, her parents, Mitch and Janis Winehouse, stood tall as they accepted the prestigious BRIT Billion award on behalf of their late daughter. The award commemorates the extraordinary achievement of the beloved singer-songwriter posthumously reaching one billion online streams in the United Kingdom.

Reflecting on the bittersweet moment, Mitch and Janis expressed their deep pride and gratitude. “We of course wish that Amy was here today accepting this award in person, but it’s amazing that she is still winning awards for her incredible talent and achievements,” they shared in a joint statement. “It’s wonderful that her music is being discovered by new audiences of young people who love it just as much as her contemporaries. We are so proud of Amy. Thank you.”

The touching ceremony, organized by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), underscored Winehouse’s enduring impact on music lovers worldwide. With her soulful voice and poignant lyrics, she continues to resonate with audiences across generations.

Winehouse’s 2007 single ‘Back To Black’, from her seminal 2006 album of the same name, stands as a testament to her unparalleled talent. The song has become her most-streamed track in the UK, amassing over 150 million plays. Its profound resonance catapulted it to Number Eight in the Official Singles Chart, and it has since achieved double platinum status in the United Kingdom.

As Mitch and Janis Winehouse graciously accepted the award, they not only celebrated their daughter’s remarkable legacy but also acknowledged the enduring love and support of her fans. In honouring Amy’s memory, they ensure that her music lives on, touching hearts and inspiring generations to come.
