Mitch Winehouse, 75, must also cover his own legal costs after the failed High Court claim, which amounted to at least £950,000. Ms Winehouse, famed for numerous songs including Valerie and Tears Dry On Their Own, died of alcohol poisoning aged 27 in 2011. Ms Parry and Ms Gourlay defended the claim in the High Court, with Judge Sarah Clarke KC siding with the women earlier this year. Mr Winehouse inherited the Back to Black singer's multi-million-pound estate when she passed away. One item sold by Ms Parry was a silk minidress worn by Ms Winehouse during her final performance in Belgrade, Serbia, which was auctioned for £180,000.
