Pete auctions Amy Winehouse ‘blood-painting’

A fortune will be trousered by Pete Doherty from the auction of a grisly painting splattered with Amy Winehouse’s blood.

The artwork, titled Ladylike, is set to be sold alongside a collection of other belongings from the junkie rocker, including guitars, notebooks, and military jackets, later this month.

According to a source: “Bidding is anticipated to reach at least $100,000, but the sky’s the limit. There’s been intense interest in this piece from collectors eager to acquire a genuine piece of Amy.“

This sale has ignited outrage among fans of the late Rehab singer, as she created the work while telling her worried dad, Mitch, on the phone that Pete was “making” her do it.

Doherty has stated that a portion of the profits will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
