Amy Winehouse’s dad believes his late daughter visits him in his dreams.
Amy Winehouse
The ‘Rehab’ singer passed away in 2011, and her dad, Mitch Winehouse, has insisted their father-daughter bond was so strong, it has kept her spirit with him after her death, as he says he’s frequently visited by her in his dreams.
He said: “I dream about her fairly frequently. It’s nothing like a clap of thunder.
“It’s like we’re just sitting down having a cup of tea or she’s ironing or something. Or hoovering . . . the last one she was hoovering. I’ve had incredible proof, incredible because I do believe in life after death. I truly believe she’s with me. It’s comforting.”
Amy died from alcohol poisoning at the age of just 27, and although she is remembered around the world for her musical genius, Mitch has also revealed the singer was a whizz at puzzles, especially Sudoku.
He added during an appearance on the ‘Michael Anthony Show’ podcast: “She’d do Sudoku, like the most complicated Sudoku and cryptic crosswords.
“She was very creative and very smart, from her mother’s side. Sudoku, they couldn’t make it hard enough for her.
"I’d look at it and go, ‘What is this? It’s a jumble of numbers’. She’d look at it and go, ‘Dad, come on!’ ”
Meanwhile, Mitch recently revealed that a new film about Amy's life could be released next year.
Mitch, 69, has suggested the new project will be a more truthful portrayal of the singer than the 2015 Asif Kapadia documentary ‘Amy', which he claimed presented him and his daughter in a "misleading" light.
He said: "We've got a lovely movie, a lovely Broadway show coming, and that's how we'll get our own back, by portraying Amy the way she was."
He revealed that a script is currently being penned for the planned movie.
He added: "The movie is gonna be in a year or two. We've gone beyond talks, we're at script stage. The film is going to be a biopic."
Mitch hinted that he would be involved in all aspects of the project, including casting the actress to portray his daughter.
He explained: "The casting will be - and I get to choose, with recommendations from the producer - a star-maker. We're gonna get an unknown actress, ideally a Jewish girl from North or East London who looks a bit like Amy and talks like Amy."
