Fotografiet ovenfor viser Amy Winehouse som meget ung i skoleuniform. Det er dengang, tatoveringerne, den outrerede udklædning og kemien endnu ikke havde fået overtaget. I dag ved vi, at Amy døde af alkoholforgiftning. En banal, forudsigelig og trist kendsgerning.

Og boet efter Winehouse har hurtigt været ude for at høste de postmortale frugter af frøken Winehouses’ kunstneriske udfoldelser. Om inden så længe kommer et album med efterladte indspilninger med de foreløbige titel: Lioness – Hidden Treasures. Og selv om man kan have sine kraftige forbehold over for nekrofil rovdrift, så lader det til, at der er interessante ting imellem. The Telegraph afslører følgende indhold:
