Amy Winehouse's father Mitch has said that there are no plans to release new music recorded by the late singer.

He told BBC Newsbeat that he isn't interested in 'ripping people off' by releasing new versions of her hits.

He said: "We're not about to put out new albums with different takes on Back To Black. She probably did 15 different versions, but we wouldn't do that. It's not fair, we don't want to rip people off."

In a pretty emphatic conclusion, he added: "I would say there is no more new music."

A posthumous compilation album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures, was released after Winehouse's death in 2011 featuring songs chosen by producer Mark Ronson, keyboard player Salaam Remi and Winehouse's family.

A life-size statue of Winehouse was unveiled in the London area of Camden last Sunday (September 14), on what would have been her 31st birthday.
