She was 27.Her death was the culmination of a lengthy — and often very public — struggle with alcohol and drugs.
'Of course, there are fans and museums and collectors all over the world that will want to own some of these items, care for them, show them at museums, keep her legacy and her memory alive and at the same time raise some money for the foundation,' Martin Nolan of Julien's said ahead of the auction.The proceeds will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which supports vulnerable young adults struggling with addiction.
