itch Winehouse revealed plans to establish the foundation on Tuesday at the funeral of his 27-year-old daughter, whose hugely successful music career was often overshadowed by her fight against drink and drug problems.
The Grammy-award winning singer, who shot to stardom with her 2006 album ‘Back to Black’, was found dead at her north London home on Saturday. A cause of death has yet to be established although it is not being viewed as suspicious.
Her family must wait two to four weeks for the results of toxicology tests.
Opposition Labour Party lawmaker Keith Vaz, who chairs a parliamentary committee that held a 2009 inquiry into drug addiction at which Mitch Winehouse testified, on Wednesday offered his support for the proposed foundation.
