London, July 10 :  Amy Winehouse's mother believes the late singer has been reincarnated as a butterfly.

"I'm pretty sure she has come back as a butterfly because she would love the freedom of flying," thesun.co.uk quoted Janis Winehouse as saying.

Amy died last year (July 23) due to alcohol poisoning at her North London home. She was 27.

The 57-year-old mother says she bursts into tears when she hears one of her daughter's songs.

"There's a huge hole in my life - I used to speak to Amy every day. Sometimes I wake up sobbing," she added.
