A new work of art portraying Amy Winehouse shot dead has been unveiled in New York City.
The sculpture captures the infamous singer in a pool of blood, having been killed by US writer William S Burroughs.
The artist behind the work, Marco Perego, said he created "The Only Good Rock Star Is A Dead Rock Star" as a "warning" to Winehouse.
Amy's spokesperson gave their reaction to the piece, commenting: "It's a funny kind of tribute.
"The artist seems in thrall to a tabloid persona that is not the real Amy. People often use her image to sell their work."
Valued at £100,000, the sculpture is on display at the Half Gallery on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
