Amy Winehouse, the legendary singer whose life was cut short from a drug overdose, was slated to have a statue erected in her honor in London but it has been delayed after her father failed to give the project the go-ahead.
According to Winehouse's former boyfriend Reg Traviss, her father Mitch Winehouse was unhappy with the finished product.
"He doesn't want anything to go up that he's not completely satisfied with. But obviously it's never going to look exactly like her," Daily Mail reports.
Officials in the British capital have given the go ahead for a tribute to the tragic star to be unveiled outside the Roundhouse venue in Camden, north London, and the finished product was due to be presented later this month on September 13.
Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning in 2011. Winehouse admitted in several interviews around the time of the album's release that she suffered from manic depression -- a disorder characterized by extreme -- and in some cases violent -- mood swings.
"I do drink a lot. I think it's symptomatic of my depression," Winehouse said in an interview on the British TV show, "The Album Chart Show." "I'm manic depressive, I'm not an alcoholic, which sounds like an alcoholic in denial."
The song "Rehab" cited a real plea by her friends and father to seek treatment, she said.
"I just felt, no. Do they have a gym there? Who's going to feed my cats?" Winehouse said. "Alcoholism is a horrible thing, but if you can't remember the practical issues, that's when you know you've got a real problem."
