The concert, produced by Mark Ronson – who co‑produced the original album – will see a roster of contemporary female artists reinterpret Winehouse’s songs, with Ronson saying he is “honoured to be asked to come celebrate Amy alongside Salaam and some amazing artists worthy of singing her songs.”
The event will be part of a broader BBC programming night dedicated to Winehouse, and will also be simulcast on BBC Radio 2 during Jo Whiley’s show on Monday, 26 October, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
In conjunction with the broadcast, the album will be reissued in a range of special deluxe formats. The new editions will include previously unheard demo recordings, rare B‑sides and a full live set recorded at the Paradiso venue in Amsterdam during the 2007 *Back to Black* tour.
*Back to Black* originally sold 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best‑selling records of all time and the United Kingdom’s second‑best‑selling album of the 21st century. It was nominated for British Album at the 2007 Brit Awards and shortlisted for the Mercury Prize the same year.
Winehouse, who openly struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, became one of the most prominent members of the so‑called “27 Club” after her death at age 27. The upcoming tribute and reissues aim to cement her legacy and introduce her music to a new generation of listeners.
