Tears for Amy Winehouse: Dionne Bromfield cries as she dedicates Big Chill song to her tragic godmother two weeks on

She has shown maturity beyond her years as she's struggled over the past days to cope with the tragic death of the godmother she described as her 'soulmate'.

But it all became too much for singer Dionne Bromfield, 15, as she played a show last night two weeks to the day since Amy Winehouse died, aged 27.

The young soul singer broke down in tears at the end of her set at the Big Chill festival at Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire last night as she dedicated final song to the star - a cover of her hit Love Is A Losing Game.

In an emotional tribute, Bromfield, who was signed to Winehouse's label Lioness Records, appeared teary-eyed and witnesses say she was barely able to sing the last few words as she choked up.

The crowd buoyed her up and kept her going by cheering. 

The star told the crowd: 'She was an amazing singer. She was not only my godmother, but she was my mentor and my boss as well.'

Dionne performed for 30 minutes backed by a five-piece band and dancers.

She also covered Cee Lo Green's hit Forget You and the Shirelles' Mama Said.

Winehouse, who had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead at her home in Camden, north London, on 23 July.

The cause of her death has not yet been disclosed.

'Amy had a Place in her Heart for each and everyone of you.'
