Amy Winehouse's Foundation Remembers Her on 13th Anniversary of Her Death: 'Forever in Our Hearts'

The "Back to Black" singer died from accidental alcohol poisoning in her London home in 2011 at age 27

Amy Winehouse’s legacy still lives on 13 years after her tragic death.

On Tuesday, the late singer’s foundation — a charity for young people set up by her family in 2011 — honored her by posting a sweet tribute on social media. “23rd July 2011 ♥️ 13 years on and Amy’s light burns brighter than ever,” the caption reads. “Her legacy continues through her music, our work with young people and in our hearts.”

Winehouse’s official social media accounts also remembered her by sharing a series of throwback black-and-white photos captioned, “14.09.1983 - 23.07.2011 🖤 Forever in our hearts. Join us this week in celebrating and remembering the late, great Amy Jade Winehouse.”

Winehouse — who left a massive mark on the music industry with her soulful vocals and her best-selling 2006 album Back to Black — died from accidental alcohol poisoning in her London home on July 23, 2011, at just 27 years old.

Her U.S. record label at the time confirmed the news in a statement that read, “We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer. Our prayers go out to Amy’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time.”

According to those who were closest to the “Rehab” singer, she spent most of her music career trying to overcome her struggles with drug and alcohol addiction and long-term bulimia, and fame didn’t make the challenge any easier.

"Amy was a girl in her twenties suffering from addiction, and everybody was a part of it,” the late singer’s best friend Tyler James — who wrote a book about her titled My Amy: The Life We Shared — told The Times in 2021. “Everybody was watching it. When you go to rehab, you have to be the strongest you've ever been in your life, when you are the weakest you've ever been in your life. And she had to go through that in front of people.”

"I want people to understand how hard that was for her,” he added. “I want people to know what it was, to stop seeing her as this doomed person."

Winehouse’s life and legacy got the big screen treatment earlier this year with the biopic Back to Black. The Sam Taylor-Johnson-directed film saw Industry actress Marisa Abela transform into the late Grammy winner, following her success and struggles as she rose to icon status.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, the director revealed that she met with Winehouse’s parents, Mitch and Janice, "more out of respect" for the family than a necessity to get their stamp of approval for the film.

"I was making a movie about their daughter, and I felt like it was important to hear them and hear their stories," Taylor-Johnson said. "Some of the things that Janice, her mom, said really helped guide me."
