Amy Winehouse's Unreleased Demos Have Been Destroyed

Fans of the late Amy Winehouse will be able to watch never-before-seen footage, as well as clips of the singer performing at a young age in the documentary film Amy: The Girl Behind The Name, but they will never hear any new material simply because all of her unreleased demos have been destroyed. 

While it is not uncommon for music labels to release unheard material from late artists, CEO of Universal Music CEO and executive producer of the new documentary David Joseph revealed the move was his doing. 

As Billboard reports, Joseph said of the decision: "It was a moral thing."

"Taking a stem or a vocal is not something that would ever happen on my watch. It now can’t happen on anyone else’s."

Prior to her untimely death in 2011, it was understood Winehouse was working on her third album (following the Lioness: Hidden Treasures compilation record) with songs being processed or already completed, however it can now be assured that none of the new material will ever be heard. 

The documentary has also been met with controversy in recent months, with Winehouse's own father threatening legal action over the release of the film. 

Amy: The Girl Behind The Name is screening in Aussie cinemas now.
