HUNDREDS of items that belonged to late Grammy-winning artiste Amy Winehouse, including the dress she wore during her final concert, are going up for auction in the United States. Auction house Julien’s will put the more than 800 personal effects — which include shoes, shorts, bras, books and records — under the hammer in Beverly Hills, California on Nov. 6 and 7. They went on display in New York on Monday and are expected to fetch up to US$2 million in total. The British soul diva died of alcohol poisoning July 23, 2011, when she was just 27. The proceeds will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which supports vulnerable young adults facing addiction. Winehouse, who won several awards for her 2006 album “Back to Black,” often spoke of her personal experiences battling alcohol and drug addiction. The star, clearly struggling, was booed at her last concert in June 2011 in Belgrade. Her tour was canceled and she died a month later. (SD-Agencies) |
