A wax model of Amy Winehouse believed to be distinguishable from the original appeared at Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum in London on Wednesday. Winehouse's likeness will be preserved in a yellow mini-dress, black beehive and her customary sailor tattoos with a microphone in her hand.
The golden-throated siren didn't attend the unveiling, according to the Associated Press, but her parents (pictured with the wax version of their daughter) were on hand. Pop Mitch Winehouse said, "This is the reward for her musical achievements and her talent." Hopefully it's not the only one -- her recording contract shouldn't be all too shabby at this point either.
Winehouse, who had already been partially reconstructed in Lego form, was thought to have been suffering from early stage emphysema late last month.
A spokeswoman for the soul diva clarified somewhat, "She is not diagnosed with full-blown emphysema, but instead has early signs of what could lead to emphysema." Her father had mentioned nodules and dark marks around her lungs, which operate at 70 percent capacity.

A wax model of British singer Amy Winehouse was unveiled on Wednesday at Madame Tussauds in London. The model, nearly six feet tall and clad in a yellow dress with a microphone in hand, is said to bear a strong likeness to the singer. Her tattoos have even been reproduced to the last detail, including one of a lightning bolt.

While her parents attended the event, Winehouse herself was too busy working to attend. Her father Mitch remarked that "This is the reward for her musical achievements and her talent".

The troubled singer, 24, is well known for her drug use, and last month was thought to have been suffering from the early stages of emphysema.
