Amy Winehouse’s personal artefacts, designer clothing and underwear are going under the hammer for thousands of pounds, with the proceeds going to the young people’s charity set up in the singer’s name.

Even though Winehouse dazzled the audience in the outfit, she appeared disorientated at the Belgrade Tuborg Festival, and was booed off stage. She subsequently cancelled the rest of her European tour.

Other statement pieces going on sale include underwear, shoes and designer handbags made for the singer in the throes of her career, along with some garments she never got a chance to wear due to axed performances.

She won five of the six awards she was nominated for that night – including record of the year, song of the year and best new artist – but appeared via video link as she could not be at the ceremony in person due to her rehab restrictions.
Other relics from the singer’s tour are also on sale, including a Roberts Revival radio and some pencil sketches.
The drawings include one from a Berlin hotel of a guitar, a man and a woman bearing a resemblance to the singer, with notes such as “plastic surgery woman” and “cat woman”.
