Mitch Winehouse to be the support act for Matt Goss at London show

Mitch Winehouse is set to be the support act for Matt Goss at one of his London shows.

Mitch, the father of late singer Amy Winehouse, will support Matt when he brings his Las Vegas show Matt Goss Live to the Royal Albert Hall on October 21.

Matt will perform at the show with a nine-piece band and a group of female dancers.

Speaking about Mitch as a support act, Matt said: "I went online and wasn't surprised to hear Mitch had a great voice, and so I asked him if he would like to open for me at my favourite venue, and in my opinion one of the most beautiful venues in the world."

In a statement, Mitch said: "I was in New York preparing for my US debut at the Blue Note jazz club when I received the devastating news of Amy's passing.

"I immediately returned to the UK to be with my family, and of course singing was the furthest thing from my mind.

"Through setting up the foundation in Amy's memory I have to come to realise that I can sing for Amy and raise money for her foundation, so when Matt Goss called me to ask me to open his show at the Royal Albert Hall this was a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness for the foundation."
