Private funeral for Amy Winehouse

The funeral of singer Amy Winehouse is to be held for "family and close friends".

The announcement by her grieving family came after police said they would need to wait up to four weeks for test results to establish a cause of death for the 27-year-old.

A spokesman for the family said: "The funeral will take place on Tuesday and will be a family and close friends affair."

He would not reveal details about the location or time of the funeral, which Jewish law states has to take place as soon as possible.

Scotland Yard said it would be waiting for the results of toxicology tests after the post-mortem examination was unable to establish a formal cause of death. The results are expected in two to four weeks, a spokesman said.

An inquest has been opened and adjourned but no cause of death was given.

The circumstances around her death were described as "non-suspicious" by coroner's officer Sharon Duff. The coroner adjourned the inquest until October 26.

Winehouse battled drink and drug problems throughout her career and news of her death was quickly followed by suggestions that it could be related to one or the other.

The troubled artist had cancelled all tour dates and engagements last month after a series of erratic public appearances. She was booed at a shambolic performance in Serbia.
