'I'm always speaking to her’: Mitch Winehouse reveals he talks to late daughter Amy from beyond the grave

It’s been three years to the day since the tragic passing of singer Amy Winehouse after she died in her London home from accidental alcohol poisoning in 2011. 
But the Back To Black star’s legacy is still very much alive, and in a new interview with The Sun Amy’s loving father Mitch Winehouse has revealed he speaks to his talented daughter from beyond the grave. 
London-based Mitch says he feels Amy’s presence everyday but especially when he’s performing.

‘She's standing next to me, every time I go out on that stage. She's there all right, I feel her, sense her,’ Mitch told The Sun.
Before adding: ‘She's in here now saying, “Just get on with it, Dad.” I'm always
speaking to her, all day, every day.’
Mitch also believes Amy was initially upset with her untimely death at just 27 but the Valerie singer has come to terms with it and is settling into the afterlife.

Although he does admit life has obviously been difficult, Mitch has honoured Amy’s memory by setting up the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which trains recovering addicts to speak in schools and shed light on their experiences and supports other charities.
‘Amy loved children and through the Foundation, we will be supporting charities that help young people, especially those in need by reason of ill-health, disability, financial disadvantage or addiction. I am now donating all personal fees I receive for interviews and performances, to the Foundation,’ he explained on his website.
Indeed, since her death the taxi driver has run a tireless campaign raising funds for his charity. In 2012 he penned a biography called Amy: My Daughter and he has a new album titled But Beautiful, with money from both proceeds going towards the foundation.
Remembering Amy: 'We will be visiting Amy and my mum and then spending day with family and friends. Thank you for all of your messages of love,' Mitch tweeted on Wednesday
