Winehouse Foundation Ball Attracts Stars In Numbers reports Camden Town

(prHWY.com) November 25, 2012 - California, CA -- San Francisco, CA- The Amy Winehouse Foundation Ball, held in honor of the legendary

singer, attracted stars from around the country and was highlighted by a performance by

former X-Factor contestant, Ella Henderson.

The Ball's profits will go to help the homeless, children's hospices, and to fund drug

counsellors. The Ball was put on by friend Mark Ronson, who had been close to Amy before

she tragically passed away at the age of 27 from a narcotics overdose.

Amy's parents, Mitch and Janis, were elegantly dressed for the occasion and seemed to have

a rather positive attitude in light of the circumstance. Mitch Winehouse invited Ella

Henderson to perform at the ball and afterwards, Ella tweeted, "A huge thank u to

@mitchwinehouse it was an honour and a pleasure to sing for the #amywinehousefoundation."

Other stars at the Ball included film director and former boyfriend, Reg Traviss, actress

Patsy Palmer, actress Barbara WIndsor, singer Paloma Faith, Carol Vorderman, and Kimberley

Garner. Everyone was in high-spirits at the event held at The Dorchester, London,

celebrating the life of such an influential artist.

It was announced at the Ball that marking Amy's 31st birthday in two years time will be a

concert and the unveiling of a statue in her hometown of Camden.

Since her death, The Amy WInehouse Foundation has raised over 1 million euros. Her former

husband Jake Blake Fielder-Civil, who she married in 2006, has admitted to introducing Amy

to the hard drug scene, but was in prison during the star's death. Fielder Civil said in

response to his wife's death, "It seems disrespectful to Amy to assume she was so

impressionable she would take them without making the decision to do so herself. She was

actually very strong and independent."

Mitch Winehouse says that his daughter had kicked her hard drug habit at the time of her

death, and the toxicology report indicated that Winehouse indeed did not have any illegal

substances in her system when she died.
