Madame Tussauds of London has announced that Amy Winehouse's wax likeness will be unveiled by her parents today.

Mitch and Janis Winehouse will unveil the statue, which is a shocking testament to how much the singer has physically deteriorated since the wax likeness was crafted.

The talented musician was captured in wax for posterity after working with the museum staff to provide body casting and painstakingly precise body measurements.

A spokesman at Madame Tussauds says she will be placed in the Music Zone of the venue.
