The Winehouse Family on Anderson Cooper Sept 12th

Anderson Cooper debuted his new daytime talk show on 12th Septemebr and he had a riveting lineup for the first episode: the family and boyfriend of late singer Amy Winehouse.

Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse, mother Janis, brother Alex and boyfriend Reg Traviss sat down with Cooper for the first episode of Cooper’s new show.

“I’ve followed her career for a long time,” said Cooper. “Her music is extraordinary. And she’s such a remarkable talent. What’s remarkable about this family is they’ve been so public before her death about trying to get her help.”

Cooper, who’s already filmed a few episodes of his new show including a sit-down with “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” sat down with Amy’s family on Friday to discuss their attempts to help her.

The interview was screened in the US on Monday September 12th 2011.

About the Amy Winehouse Foundation

In Amy’s memory, we work to inspire children and young people to build their self-esteem and resilience, so that they can flourish.

Our work is inspired by Amy’s spirit, her love of children and the challenges that she faced in her own life.

Today, the Amy Winehouse Foundation helps thousands of young people to feel supported and informed so that they are better able to manage their emotional wellbeing and make informed choices around things that can affect their lives.

We’re able to do this because of the support we receive from people like you. Anyone who believes in young people can become a part of our work and Amy’s legacy. By supporting our work, you will help them to transform their lives, flourish and be heard.
