Fourteen years after her tragic passing, Amy Winehouse’s impact is still deeply felt, particularly by her parents Mitch and Janis.

The former couple appeared emotional as they were spotted paying their respects at Amy's grave at Edgwarebury Cemetery in north London on Wednesday. 

They were joined by friends, family, and fans at the graveside, where they left flowers and messages addressed to their daughter. 

Janis, 70, was aided by a mobility walker, while Mitch, 74, used a walking stick as the pair were comforted by loved ones. 

Mitch and Janis, who also share son Alex and divorced in 1993 when Amy was nine, remain close following the heartbreaking loss of Amy.

Amy died on July 23 2011. After two inquests, her cause of death was revealed to be accidental by way of alcohol poisoning.

The singer had a history of alcohol and drug abuse. She had been in and out of rehab and struggled with alcohol withdrawal and anxiety.

Amy, who is buried with her grandmother Cynthia Levy, is said to have been subject to nine interventions led by parents about her boozy lifestyle.

Mitch battled to get his beloved daughter to abandon the dangerous drug-fuelled life which was killing her, even as she enjoyed extraordinary success.

When his efforts ended in heartbreaking failure with her death, Mitch and second wife Jane established, with Amy's mother Janis, the Amy Winehouse Foundation in the hope of inspiring young people to spare themselves from a similar path.

It was revealed that the weight of Amy's death was too much for Mitch's relationship to bare, with the couple going their separate ways.

He told the Daily Mail in 2023: 'I haven't made a public announcement, explaining he has been reticent to do so because Jane, 59, remains a trustee of the foundation.

Insisting their separation was amicable, Mitch suggested the first strains on their relationship date back to when Amy was falling apart under the cosh of binges on alcohol and narcotics.

He would do what he could to help. 'I would get a call at 3am and run out at 4am,' Mitch said, adding that this inevitably took a toll on his marriage.

He felt compelled to reassure his wife that his nocturnal assignations really did involve his only daughter. 'I said to her: 'Listen! There are no other women!'

Jane and Mitch had begun their affair while he was married to Janis, a pharmacist, with whom he had Amy and her brother, Alex.

During the dalliance Mitch made no real effort to disguise his feelings for Jane and brazenly brought her home on Friday nights for Jewish family suppers.

Eventually, Janis had enough and took Amy and Alex into her car and drove to Janes' flat to confront the lovers.

Despite their messy split, Janis has since forgiven Mitch and they remained bonded by their desperate quest to save their daughter from her addictions. 'None of us are perfect', Mitch previously said.

'Jane was so even-tempered, as was Janis. They need to be with me – I'm a Sagittarian tiger! Actually, we get on better.

'We are all still friends and all still running the [Amy Winehouse] Foundation together.'

Her 2006 album, Back To Black, made her an international star and won five Grammys, including record of the year and song of the year for Rehab.

Last year, a biopic based on the life of English singer-songwriter Amy, played by Marisa Abela, was released. 

The Back to Black biopic sparked outrage from pals, with musician Neon Hitch, branding the film 'ridiculous' and 'tasteless', saying: 'Can you please all let Amy rest?'

Friends of Amy voiced their fury with her father Mitch, after he allowed ghoulish scenes of her drug overdose to be filmed at her old flat for the film.

Actress Marisa was seen on a stretcher with an oxygen mask as she leaves the property in North London.

The flat is now owned by Mitch who also features in the scene alongside other actors playing paramedics.

Friends of the singer were devastated that Mitch had given his permission for the flat in Camden to be used to recreate one of his daughter's darkest moments, which took place in August 2008.

It followed a reported 36-hour marathon drug-taking session, which ended with her checking in to the £10,000-a-week Causeway Retreat rehabilitation centre on Osea Island, Essex.

One told The Mail on Sunday: 'The fact that Amy's father has said OK to a scene where she had an overdose in the flat she lived in is disgusting.

'His behaviour is shocking. He didn't know what went on or what she was like with us all during those years.

'Amy would really hate that they're focusing on all the dark stuff that she went through.'

Ms Winehouse lived in the property following the release of her Back To Black album and friends say that she enjoyed happy times there.

One pal said: 'There was always music and laughter. That's who Amy was. She was so loving and was so fun to be around.'

Amy lived at the flat until 2010, when she bought a four-storey house nearby, it was later confirmed she died of alcohol poisoning.

Amy allowed a friend to live at the flat after she moved out, but after she died, her father took control of it.
