The renowned singer with her trademark beehive hairstyle shot to fame with her 2003 debut album "Frank".

Later her award-winning follow-up "Back to Black" became the UK’s bestselling album of the 21st century following her death last July at the age of 27 after a highly publicized battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

In an interview her father said that family members and friends would be attending prayers with a Rabbi followed by a celebration in his daughter's favourite jazz bar in London for "tears and laughter".

Since Amy’s death, the Winehouse family have set up a foundation to help people struggling with addiction.
