Amy Winehouse's father Mitch has said that it's unlikely any more posthumous albums will be released, as he wouldn't want to "rip people off."

A statue of the singer, who died in 2011 aged 27, was revealed on Saturday (13 September), on what would have been her 31st birthday.

Speaking at the unveiling, Mitch Winehouse was asked by BBC News what his daughter what have thought of the statue. "She didn't like being praised about anything," he said. "She was very self-effacing, and she'd say 'What's all this about?'"

Mitch also discussed the possibility of a follow-up to 2011's posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures. "We're not about to put out new albums with different takes of 'Back To Black' he said. "She probably did 15 different versions of 'Back To Black' but we wouldn't do that, it's not fair. We dont want to rip people off. There is no more new music."

Responding to fans who think Winehouse's drug and alcohol addictions mean she doesn't deserve a statue, Mitch said: "Let them come and take it down, they'll have to fight their way through thousands of fans who think it should be here."
