Amy Winehouse's goddaughter Dionne Bromfield slams BRITs tribute to late singer

Mark Ronson was honoured at the 2026 BRITs with the Outstanding Contribution to music award.

And he paid tribute to his late friend Amy Winehouse as he accepted the award and included her in his performance on Saturday (28 February).

The music producer has been responsible for some huge hits over the years, from the soundtrack for Barbie to a number of tracks with Dua Lipa, ‘Uptown Funk’ and more recently, ‘Suzanne’.

But he’ll always be well-known for his work with Winehouse, producing the 2006 album Back to Black and collaborating for his 2007 cover of ‘Valerie’.

However, there was some backlash over the late singer’s goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield, who has since slammed the tribute.

Ronson’s performance included clips of Winehouse singing as well as her band, as he asked the BRITs audience to sing ‘Valerie’.

And while many praised this tribute to the music icon, some felt Bromfield should have been included.

“I feel like the #BRITs have missed an opportunity to have Dionne Bromfield pay tribute to her godmother, and sing the lead on the Amy Winehouse tribute part of Mark Ronson’s set,” one user wrote on X.

Bromfield responded to this post with a shrugging emoji and went on to say it ‘definitely was NOT an oversight’ that she was not up on stage.

She then went on to release a statement that it is not about her being on stage ‘for the sake of being seen’.

“Since Amy’s passing, I’ve faced years of specific people within the industry and surrounding it, making it incredibly difficult for me to move forward and progress in my career,” the singer wrote.

“Amy championed me musically in ways that didn’t always align with others around her, and after she passed, that was made clear, opportunities for me were blocked and doors were deliberately closed.”

Bromfield said what happened at the BRITs ‘wasn’t about one moment’ but another reminder of what she’s ‘been dealing with’ for a while.

“To see so many of the people she loved musically included, while I wasn’t felt like an insult not just to me, but more importantly to Amy and her legacy” she continued.

“I’m not one to air my dirty laundry, but there’s only so much someone can take and sometimes things need to be called out.”

Known to be extremely close, Winehouse championed Bromfield’s music career from her youth with her goddaughter saying she gave her the ‘motherly side she wanted’ in the industry.

Bromfield was just 15 when Winehouse tragically died in 2011.
