Chicago’s B96 announced the possibility of an Amy Winehouse tribute concert this morning, so your Chicago Pop Music Examiner looked into this by talking with the possible promoter, Scott Winstone Productions.
The tribute would take place at Wrigley Field, which has become a viable concert location after the success of the Paul McCarthy series last month. Possible attendees include Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and all of Michael Jackson’s children.
Scott Winstone says that acts such as Prince, Elton John, Katy Perry, and Britney Spears are almost definite performers, while Lady Gaga and Madonna would not be invited. “Amy Winehouse, an activist for children, always felt Madonna was a bad influence on children while she considered Lady Gaga to be a complete fake.” More acts are being contacted within the next couple weeks. The concert would take place next spring.
“Amy Winehouse had her demons, but was a great inspiration for both children and adults. Her legacy simply cannot be repeated,” says Winstone.
What think about this?
