There was growing rumors that Amy Winehouse would be touring the world hologram style…..those rumors were shot down by Amy’s father. From Huffington Post:

On March 28, UK newspaper The Sun reported that billionaire entrepreneur Alki David had purchased a patent for the 3D technology used to construct Tupac’s hologram, and was planning a posthumous world tour for Amy Winehouse’s image.

However, Winehouse’s father Mitch denied the story on Twitter, calling it “utter rubbish.” Mitch Winehouse owns the rights to his daughter’s likeness, so unless his mind changes, the world tour is unlikely to come about.

In related news, there was also apparently an attempt to put the fallen singer’s handwritten lyrics up for sale. The family shot that all the way down as well….from the New Zealand Herald:

The handwritten lyrics of one of Amy Winehouse’s most famous songs have been pulled from auction amid a row over ownership.

Papers bearing the lyrics of Love Is A Losing Game and a Valentine’s card were set to make thousands under the hammer at Bonhams.

However, following intervention from the family of the singer, who died from alcohol poisoning in 2011, the lots were withdrawn.

The song is thought to be about her husband Blake Fielder-Civil and is considered by critics to be her most touching work. The lyrics are inscribed with their names and a heart, to read ‘Amy hearts Blake’.

The seller’s identity is not known but the listing said the lyrics were given to a friend by Amy before her album Back To Black launched in 2006. The guide price was £5,000.

The second lot, expected to fetch £2,000, was a Valentine’s card sent from St Lucia to Blake in prison. Signed ‘Gemma’, a code name, it shows Charlie Brown from Peanuts and her note reads, ‘Our Day Will Come’, later the title of a song.

Blake’s mother, Georgette, said the seller is neither her or her son.
