Brand leads stars’ tributes to Winehouse

STARS from the US and Britain paid tributes to the late Amy Winehouse at the MTV Awards.

Winehouse’s friend Russell Brand led the eulogies, asking people to remember the singer for her music and urging those suffering from addiction to get help.

The comedian, who has battled drug dependency himself, said: “A lot of people just get the disease, not many people get the incredible talent that Amy was blessed with. Let’s remember there is a solution. That solution is available.”
