If singer Amy Winehouse was alive today, she would have been 31 years old. Nearly three years after the tragic death of Amy, her life-size bronze statue was unveiled in Camden, north London on Sunday. Winehouse was reportedly "in love with Camden," according to her father Mitch Winehouse who was also present at the event.

Hundreds of fans of the London-born singer gathered in Camden for the unveiling of a statue in memory of singer who died on July 23, 2011 of alcohol poisoning. She was 27. The statue was unveiled on Sept. 14, which also happens to be Amy's birthday. The life-size bronze sculpture is the brain child of sculptor Scott Eaton and shows Winehouse in her signature beehive hairstyle.

In the incredible statue, the "Back to Black" songstress is seen wearing a gathered dress that highlights her tiny waist with a huge belt. With her left hand on her hip and a star of David necklace adorning her slim neck, the statue looks quite like Amy. The most striking feature of Amy's statue is a live red rose in her hair and her high heels. The statue unveiling ceremony was attended by her parents Mitch and Janis Winehouse. Check out the video below.

Amy's father was all praises for the statue and said Eaton had done an "amazing job" at capturing her daughter's features and style. The parents also called the statue unveiling a "incredibly emotional" moment for them and said looking at Amy's statue was like stopping her in a "beautiful moment in time." The parents hoped that Amy's fans would also love the statue.

Mitch Winehouse also revealed to The Guardian newspaper that though their daughter is not physically present with them, they always feel her "spiritual" presence in their lives. The emotionally distraught father also added that he was "very, very sad."

Meanwhile, Eaton, the sculptor of Winehouse's statue, is of the opinion that the bronze statue not only captures her "attitude and strength, but also give subtle hints of insecurity." "The hand on the hip, the turn of the head, the grabbing of the skirt, the turned in foot—these are all small elements that contribute to the personality of the piece," Eaton revealed to BBC news.
