Amy Winehouse was reportedly in the process of adopting a 10-year-old girl when she died

The troubled singer – who was found dead at her north London home last weekend aged 27 – had planned to take on the care of Dannika Augustine, after striking a strong bond with the poverty-stricken girl and her family during her lengthy stays on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.

Dannika said: “Amy was already my mother. I would call her mum and she would call me her ­daughter. She took care of me and we had fun together. I loved her and she loved me.

“She was the most amazing person and I was looking forward to living with her here or in London. I cannot believe she is gone. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me.”

Her grandmother Majorie Lambert, who runs a beach bar close to the villa where Amy liked to stay, added: to the Sunday Mirror newspaper “Amy loved Dannika with all her heart. I don’t know why Amy took to Dannika above all the other children on the island, but from the moment they met they were ­inseparable. They would spend all day playing, horse-riding and walking up and down the beach hand-in-hand.

“Amy used to beg me, ‘I want to adopt Dannika. I want to take her to England.’ She was prepared to move to St Lucia to be her full-time mum.

“Amy wanted to have a child so bad. If she had not died, there is no doubt she would be here in St Lucia ­completing the adoption process. There is no way she would have done what she did to herself if Dannika was with her.”

Marjorie says Dannika’s mother Nadia Germaine was willing to have the youngster adopted because she couldn’t afford to bring her daughter up alone, while the girl’s father Vic Augustine, who lives in Germany, was consulted about the proposal.

Vic said: “Amy called me from my mother’s mobile phone. She said, ‘Hello, Marjorie’s lovely son. I wanted to talk to you because I feel like you are my brother. Marjorie has become like a mother to me.’ Then she said, ‘I love Dannika so much. She is the most amazing girl.’

“I thanked Amy for taking care of my daughter, and she said, ‘Dannika is taking care of me. I couldn’t live ­without her.’ Then she said, ‘I would like your permission to adopt Dannika.’

“I said if my mum thought it was a good idea, then it was OK with me. I also spoke to Dannika’s mother and she said she would agree to it.”

Marjorie last spoke to Amy weeks ago when she was making arrangements for a planned visit to St. Lucia next week and says the ‘Back to Black’ star sounded “weak and down.”

She said: “Amy sounded weak and down. She asked how I was and said, ‘Tell everybody I will be back in St Lucia soon.’

“I was expecting her here next week. I couldn’t believe it when my friend in London told me she had died.

“Amy was such a good person. She wanted to help everyone. I know she had her problems, but in St Lucia she was a much better person than people knew in the UK. She was drug-free and normal here. I never worried about Dannika being with Amy.”

Amy Winehouse’s father insists she was the “happiest she’d been in years” before her death

Mitch Winehouse paid tribute to his daughter – who was found dead at home on Saturday (23.07.11) aged 27 – insisting she had overcome her drug dependency and was determined to give up alcohol for the sake of her family and boyfriend Reg Traviss.

In a statement released following Amy’s funeral today (26.07.11), he said: “Amy was the greatest daughter, family member and friend you could ever have.

“I will talk a lot about her fantastic recovery. Recently Amy found love with Reg. He helped her with her problems and Amy was looking forward to their future together. She was the happiest she has been for years.

Three years ago, Amy conquered her drug dependency, the doctors said it was impossible but she really did it. She was trying hard to deal with her drinking and had just completed three weeks of abstinence

“She said, ‘Dad I’ve had enough, I can’t stand the look on your and the family’s faces anymore.’ ”

Mitch also revealed he and Amy’s friends and family have taken comfort from the fact she was “happy” when she passed away, insisting she had been in good spirits the last time anyone saw her.

He added: “She was not depressed. She saw [her mother] Janis and Reg on Friday and was in good spirits.

“That night, she was in her room, playing drums and singing. As it was late, her security guard said to keep it quiet and she did.

“He heard her walking around for a while and when he went to check on her in the morning he thought she was asleep. He went back a few hours later, that was when he realised she was not breathing and called for help.

“But knowing she wasn’t depressed, knowing she passed away, knowing she passed away happy, it makes us all feel better.”

The 60-year-old former taxi driver also spoke of his plans to set up a charity in his daughter’s name to help others struggling with addiction and causes close to her heart.

Recalling hearing the news of Amy’s death en route to New York to perform a series of concerts, he said: :”I was with my cousin Michael when I heard and straight away I said I wanted an Amy Winehouse Foundation, something to help the things she loved – children, horses, but also to help those struggling with substance abuse.

“In this country, if you cannot afford a private rehabilitation clinic, there is a two year waiting list for help. With the help of Keith Vaz MP, we are trying to change that.”

Amy Winehouse’s ashes will be mixed with her beloved grandmother’s

The ‘Back to Black’ singer is due to be cremated today (26.07.11) in accordance with Jewish custom, and her family will fulfil her wish that her ashes are put with those of her grandmother, Cynthia, who died in 2006 from lung cancer.

The funeral – which was given permission to take place after the inquest into her death was opened and immediately adjourned at London’s St Pancras Coroner’s Court yesterday (25.07.11) following her passing on Saturday (23.07.11) – is thought to be taking place at Golders Green Crematorium in north London at 3pm.

A family friend said: “We all hope Amy can finally find some peace.”

After visiting Amy’s home to see tributes left by fans yesterday, her father Mitch, and mother, Janis – who split when she was nine – discussed the funeral options.

Amy idolised her grandmother, a jazz singer who dated saxophone player Ronnie Scott, and the tattoo of a woman in a red shirt on the top of her right arm was said to depict her. She also had her name tattooed on the same arm.

Meanwhile, Amy’s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil will not be attending the funeral, after he was not granted compassionate leave from Armley Jail in Yorkshire, Northern England, where he is serving a 32-month sentence on charges of burglary and firearms offences.

Mitch has also said to have warned Blake to stay away from the service and from him and the rest of the family.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Mitch thinks it would be a complete insult for him to be there and if he really loved Amy, he wouldn’t cause anymore heartache by showing up.

“There is no way back for him with Blake. He absolutely hates his guts.

“He will always believe Blake is responsible for getting his daughter hooked on Class A drugs which marked the beginning of her self-destruction.”

Amy Winehouse’s family have been left “bereft” by her death

The ‘Rehab’ singer was found dead at her home in Camden, North London yesterday (23.07.11) after a suspected alcohol and drugs overdose and a statement today from her loved ones reveals the heartbreak they are battling.

The statement said: “Our family has been left bereft by the loss of Amy, a wonderful daughter, sister and niece. She leaves a gaping hole in our lives. We are coming together to remember her and we would appreciate some privacy and space at this terrible time.”

Amy’s family are not the only people struggling to cope with her loss. At his gig with The Faces in Hurtwood, Surrey, South East England last night, Absolute Radio DJ Ronnie Wood dedicated his performance of ‘I Would Rather Go Blind’ to the tragic 27-year-old singer.

He said: “It is a very sad loss, of a very good friend, I spent great times with, she was such a beautiful singer, it is such a waste.”

Queen’s Roger Taylor was in the crowd to watch the show and as he took to the stage he said “Tonight is about Amy, we lost a very special girl and we are going to pay tribute to her”.

Amy is survived by her father Mitch, mother Janis and brother Alex.

Amy Winehouse has died

The 27-year-old British singer – who had a history of drug addiction and heavy drinking -was found dead at her North London home this afternoon (23.07.11) at 3.54pmfrom a suspected drink and drugs overdose according to police sources. No other details have been released.

The sad news comes hours after a statement on Amy’s official website claiming the singer – who was booed during a shambolic European comeback performance last month – was taking a break from performing in order to get help and “return to her best”.

It said: “Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen.”

Before her ill fated comeback Amy had spent one week in London’s renowned rehab facility The Priory in order to get ready for the tour and planned to continue treatment as an outpatient.

She had reportedly stunned onlookers when she bought a small bottle of vodka from a shop in Southgate, north London, on her way rehab last month.

A source said: “She seemed out of it. She was stumbling about, slurring her words.

“I was shocked to see her buy vodka so early in the day, and even more shocked to see her knock it straight back.”

Daniel Radcliffe is the richest British star under 30

The ‘Harry Potter’ actor has made an estimated £45.6 million, £25 million of which comes from the final two films in the series ‘The Deathly Hallows’, alone, almost £15 million more than the second-placed star, 25-year-old Keira Knightley, who has made a fortune of £30.1 million so far.

Four of the top five money-makers in the list compiled by heat magazine come from the wizard movie series made famous by Daniel, with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint making £20.6 million and £19 million respectively.

‘Twilight: Saga’ actor Robert Pattinson – who appeared in ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ – was placed fifth, having earned £18.5 million so far.

Britain’s highest earning music star is ‘Bleeding Love’ singer Leona Lewis, who has generated a £12.5 million fortune since winning ‘The X Factor’ in 2006, placing her in sixth place.

Heat editor Sam Delaney said the list proved not all rich people are “corrupt, cigar-chomping fat cats”.

He said: “In these tight financial times, there’s a great deal of animosity felt towards society’s richest. But who could possibly resent the millions earned by a charming young rascal like Daniel Radcliffe?

“The heat rich list is proof that not all mega-rich people are corrupt, cigar-chomping fat cats. This list is full of young people who have largely made their cash out of putting smiles on other people’s faces”

Other notable inclusions on the list include Sienna Miller at 17, who at £6.1 million has earned less than Arctic Monkeys’ singer Alex Turner, who has amassed an estimated fortune of £7.5 million.

‘X Factor’ judge Cheryl Cole has earned £7.9 million, putting her ahead of all her Girls Aloud bandmates.

Cheryl Cole has been voted the Most Inspirational Woman of the Decade.

The ‘Fight for This Love’ singer – who has been focusing on her solo career since she separated from her soccer star spouse Ashley Cole last month following claims he cheated on her several times – was named as the celebrity female who has made the biggest impression on other women.

The 26-year-old pop star was given the honour for both her “beauty” and “success” – with 29 per cent of her fans praising her looks and 51 per cent in awe of her career.

A survey taken out on the cosmetic treatment review website, www.goodsurgeonguide.co.uk asked over 1,100 British women their views on a number of the world’s biggest celebrities.

Actress Dame Helen Mirren polled second, chat show host Oprah Winfrey was placed third and Jennifer Aniston came fourth while Britain’s Queen Elizabeth was surprisingly named the sixth most inspirational woman.

Katie Piper, the model who survived a horrifying acid attack, was named fifth in the list.

Author J. K. Rowling, TV personality Sharon Osbourne, singer Kylie Minogue and sportswoman Amy Williams – who took gold in the skeleton competition at the Winter Olympics – completed the top 10.

Christiana Clogg, owner of The Good Surgeon Guide, said: “It is great that the results show these women as inspirational for a variety of reasons. Success is something that most women aspire to have, not necessarily success in the public eye, but success on a personal level.”

The survey also asked the same group of females about who has made the least impression on them over the past 10 years.

Model-turned-body builder Jodie Marsh has topped this list, followed by a number of British stars, including Tara Palmer Tomkinson, reality TV stars Chantelle Houghton and Kerry Katona, Rebecca Loos – who claimed to have had an affair with soccer star David Beckham – and actress Helen Flanagan.

The ‘Rehab’ singer’s father Mitch has revealed his daughter was approached by the ‘Angels’ singer to duet with him, but she told Robbie she thought his idea was a “f***ing joking”.

Speaking on his online show ‘Mitch Winehouse’s Showbiz Rant’, he said: “I’m a bit worried about Robbie, next thing he’ll be wanting to make a record with Amy. That’s preposterous.”

The 58-year-old taxi driver added: “Actually he said that once… he wanted to do a record with Amy. Amy said, ‘Are you f***ing joking.’ ”

Amy is currently working on her long-awaited third album which she has recorded in London and Jamaica.

Mitch recently spoke about his concerns for his daughter now she has seemingly reconciled with her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

He said: “I’d be devastated, I’m worried about the situation and I’m going to discourage her in every way I can. Their relationship was a disaster, it was destructive and they’re lucky that one of them didn’t die. Two addicts can’t be in a relationship.”

The ‘Back to Black’ singer voluntarily attended Milton Keynes police station  to answer questions about an incident at the city’s theatre on Saturday  and was formally arrested and charged with a Section 5 public order offence and common assault.

Amy is accused of kicking the theatre’s front-of-house manager Richard Pound after he tried to eject her from the audience during a performance of pantomime ‘Cinderella’.

The 26-year-old star – who is thought to have been drinking – reportedly spent more than half an hour of the first act of the performance yelling expletives.

Her outbursts were said to include “f**k Cinders, Prince Charming, marry me” and branding the Ugly Sisters “b***hes.”

Families in the audience got upset when Amy repeatedly stood up, blocking their view to jeer at the cast.

She is due to appear at Milton Keynes Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 20 January 2010.

Georgette Civil, 46, is happy her 31-year-old son is apparently back with the ‘Rehab’ singer following their divorce in August, and thinks they’ll get married again next year because they’re still very much in love.

She said: “Neither of them really wanted a divorce. I hope that this time around, drug free and with their families to support them, they can work through any problems.

“I’m convinced her and Blake will marry next year. I don’t know when, where, or how it will happen. I’d like to be at the wedding this time round, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they went away and got hitched without anyone knowing about it. Whatever they do, I think it’s going to be a happy ending this time.”

Although Georgette is keen for the couple – who tied the knot in a secret Miami ceremony in 2007 – to remarry, she thinks their divorce was the right thing to do because their romance had become unworkable.

She added in an interview with New! magazine: “I thought a divorce was the best thing for both of them at the time, as they were a destructive influence on each other. But I was sad Blake had lost the love of his life.”

Amy, 26, recently spent 36 hours holed up in Blake’s home in Sheffield, England, where he is completing a stint in rehab.

According to Georgette, they started speaking on the phone in September and in November Amy started wearing her wedding ring again.

The former couple – who divorced earlier this year – had reportedly reconciled after spending more than 36 hours together in an apartment in Sheffield, UK, but the singer’s goddaughter Dionne Bromfield insists Amy was only at her former spouse’s home to tell him their relationship was definitely over.

When asked if Amy and Blake were back together, Dionne told BANG Showbiz: “No, she went there to call it quits. Seriously. They’re over now.”

While the 13-year-old star insisted Amy and Blake are not back together, she also hinted that there may be another man in the ‘Back To Black’ star’s life.

The ‘Mama Said’ singer said: “You never know. There might be a future man. She can do with someone much better.”

However, Dionne herself is not looking for love.

She insisted: “I’m too young.”

Since divorcing, Amy and Blake have been flirting secretly on website Facebook and were rumoured to be planning to remarry after Blake – who is banned from London under the terms of his prison release – finishes his court-imposed rehab next February.

Dionne Bromfield, 13, insists reports the ‘Rehab’ singer is going to rekindle her romance with her ex-husband are false and she is adamant Amy has never been happier being single.

She said: “Don’t listen to talk of Amy getting remarried to Blake – it’s a lie. She is happy without him.”

Amy is said to have recently asked Blake, who she divorced in August, to remarry her and they have both changed their status on their profiles on website Facebook to married.

It was claimed the 26-year-old pop star’s father Mitch was organising a pre-nuptial agreement so Blake, 31, wouldn’t be able to get a penny of Amy’s money if they do tie the knot for a second time.

Dionne also revealed she is set to tour with Amy next year after she turns 14.

The singer – who releases her new single ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ next month – told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “I am too young to tour at the moment but at the end of 2010, around September, I should be the support act to a certain somebody.”

The ‘Umbrella’ singer has been asked to sing at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi to help revellers see in 2010 in what will be her first performance in the Middle East.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: “She was supposed to perform back in May but she cancelled in the aftermath of the assault. This is a make-up date.”

Rihanna had been due to perform in Dubai earlier this year, which would have been her first show since she was attacked by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in February.

However, she cancelled the concert as she felt she wasn’t ready to return to the stage.

Rihanna will not be the first star to earn a vast amount of money for a one-off concert.

On New Year’s Eve 2006, George Michael was paid $2.6 million to perform 13 songs at a party for Russian nickel magnate Vladimir Potanin and a few months later was given around $2.5 million to sing at the 55th birthday party of Sir Philip Green, the owner British fashion chain Topshop.

Last year, it was revealed Amy Winehouse was paid $1.6 million to perform in an old Russian bus garage for Daria ‘Dasha’ Zhukova – the girlfriend of Chelsea Football Club owner, billionaire Roman Abramovich.

The Rolling Stones were paid around $7.3 million for playing at the 60th birthday bash of billionaire David Bonderman.

The ‘Rehab’ singer recently splashed out £35,000 to have her breasts boosted from a 32B to a 32D and is now planning more surgery to improve her appearance further, against the wishes of her loved ones.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Everyone tells her there’s nothing wrong with her nose. But Amy does nothing by halves. Now she’s beaten drugs, plastic surgery must not become her next obsession.

“Since changing her boobs Amy has been scrutinising her body.”

It has also been revealed Amy, 26, wants a doll of her made so she can become the next Barbie.

The pop star has been busy sketching designs for the toy which she believes would be a hit with kids, just like the famous blonde doll.

A source said: “She loves all the compliments and wolf whistles she gets from her new figure. She’s been sketching lots of drawings of herself and wants to bring out a doll for fans.”

Amy’s father Mitch recently claimed his daughter decided to have a boob job because she had “saggy” breasts.

He said: “I don’t think the boob job was about confidence. I think that when she lost all that weight, the weight never came back on her boobs and they were saggy. So whatever the reason is, she looks great now.”

The ‘Rehab’ singer – who recently splashed out thousands of pounds on a breast enlargement operation – is thrilled with her new “womanly” appearance and wants to go under the knife again to boost her assets even further.

A source said: “Amy loves her breasts. She can’t stop touching them and showing them off to friends. She says she feels womanly again and wants to be more curvy like she used to be. She thinks by having another operation and bum implants that she will achieve her dream pin-up look.”

When Amy first burst onto the music scene in 2003 with her debut album ‘Frank’ she was known for her curvaceous figure.

However, as she battled alcohol and drug addictions over the years her weight plummeted.

Amy’s father Mitch recently admitted his daughter – who has been drug-free for a year – was forced to undergo surgery because she was left with “saggy” breasts.

But the slim starlet is reportedly gorging on 3,000 calories a day to add curves to the rest of her frame.

An insider said: “Amy’s like a machine at the moment. She just can’t stop eating. She loves T-bone steaks and fish covered in oily sauces. She has set a target to eat up to 3,000 calories a day while also doing work in the gym.”

The 26-year-old star is so serious about getting her old figure back, she has even had fitness equipment installed into her home and spends most of her spare time there.

Mitch said recently: “One of Amy’s positive addictions is she’s got her own gym. She’s in the gym three or four hours a day. I mean boy is she fit – really, really fit. So that’s a really positive addiction.”

The ‘Super Duper Love’ singer openly admits to smoking cannabis and hasn’t ruled out dabbling with other illegal substances in future, even though she thinks they are “horrible”.

She said: “I don’t want to take all those horrible drugs. Although some sound fun, so I might dabble now and then!

“I smoke cannabis, but I don’t think it’s really a drug. It’s more of a herb. I don’t regret saying that at all.”

When quizzed on how often she smoked, she added to Britain’s Star magazine: “It depends if I’m working, and on what song. It’s like having a drink.”

Despite her views, the 22-year-old star has also blasted fellow singer Amy Winehouse – who has battled addictions to heroin and crack cocaine – for her drug consumption.

She said: “I think it’s stupid. Amy’s music is beautiful, her lyrics are f**king great, but she has to start loving the music more than she loves herself and the drugs. You’ve got to have a lack of intelligence to do that to yourself.

“Amy’s not a kid, she makes her own decisions. If you choose to live in London, go to clubs every night… it’s going to take a toll.”
