Amy Winehouse's goddaughter pays poignant tribute to singer

AMY Winehouse's 15-year-old goddaughter performed at the Big Chill music festival yesterday, closing her set with a tribute when she sang a cover of Winehouse's Love Is A Losing Game.

Dionne Bromfield brimmed with tears when she performed the song, barely able to sing its last few words, though the crowd cheered her on.

After the performance, she said: "Amy was an amazing singer. She was not only my godmother, but she was my mentor and my boss as well."

The teenage singer performed for 30 minutes onstage at the second day of the music festival in Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Herefordshire.

Bromfield's performance was reminiscent of Winehouse, who died, aged 27, at her home in London two weeks ago. Bromfield stood close to the mic belting out lyrics, sporting big hair.

She was backed by a five-piece band and dancers, performing songs from her two albums and singing mainly about boys and relationship troubles.

Among the pop-soul numbers she sang were Remember Our Love and Yeah Right. She also performed covers of Cee Lo Green's hit Forget You and the Shirelles' Mama Said, Bromfield's first single.

Winehouse, who had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead on 23 July.

The cause of her death has not yet been disclosed.
