Amy Winehouse tribute act recalls surreal moment late star’s ex-boyfriend surprised her at performance
One of the saddest aspects of Amy Winehouse’s death is that fans old and new will never get to see her perform on-stage again.However for some, watching a tribute act is the closest thing they can do to enjoy the Rehab star’s music live. Winehouse died 10 years ago today on July 23, 2011 as the result of alcohol poisoning. At the time, tribute act Katie Wilson was just 14 years old but loved her music enough to want to pursue one of the most quirky jobs in the live music industry. ‘It’s so upsetting because I loved how unique she was and her songs are just so good, she was so talented,’ she reflected. Wilson, now 24, has performed as an Amy Winehouse tribute act, under the name Amy Alive, full-time for four years.
