Police have said they are investigating the defacing of an Amy Winehouse statue in north London after a Star of David necklace was covered with a Palestine flag.
Probably for the same reason that there’s a statue of Robocop going up in Detroit (eventually! this year, we swear!): cities like to erect monuments to local pop culture icons because it promotes tourism.
So what they are trying so say is that being mid singer and overdosing drugs make her a local culture icon? I could believe that, it’s England after all.
Why does she even have statue?

Being famous made her a local culture icon. Dying to an eating disorder and alcohol addiction isn’t really relevant.

And this one
because she was a beloved cultural icon who lived in the area? really not uncommon.
