Amy leaves a fortune to her parents and 'The Impostor' crashes the funeral.
"Imposter and his partner infiltrate ceremony, have photo distributed by agencies and are even cited as Amy's advisors" by CNN.
247 - The funeral ceremony for singer Amy Winehouse, which took place in London this morning, was more surprising than anyone could have imagined. Despite heightened security and the family's intention to limit attendance at the burial to only family members and close friends, the Jewish ceremony was closely watched by an intruder: Brazilian Daniel Zukerman, from the team of the comedy program "Pânico na TV," broadcast by Rede TV, known as "The Impostor." He managed to break through all the security barriers and, in addition to participating in the farewell, even had his photo published by the international press and distributed by renowned agencies, identified as one of the most emotional guests at the ceremony.
The singer's will, released today, left her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, off the list of beneficiaries. Amy made provisions to ensure that Blake would not inherit her money after their divorce in 2009. Her fortune was estimated at £6 million in the Sunday Times Rich List in April, but is now estimated to exceed £10 million. According to legal controllers, Amy's wealth would be divided among her immediate family, including her mother Janis, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, her father, Mitch, and her older brother, Alex.
The reporter known as "The Imposter" is known for bypassing the most complex international security schemes, entering environments where the media is always barred. Among his most famous feats are: attending another exclusive funeral, that of Michael Jackson; bypassing security at Hebe Camargo's party; evading the security of American actor Sylvester Stallone and taking a photo with him; passing information to contestants on the reality show "A Fazenda" on Record TV; and approaching and pulling a strand of hair from top model Gisele Bündchen. The list is famous for the success of his missions. In the case of Amy Winehouse's funeral, the Brazilian, accompanied by Rede TV producer André Machado, were identified in a report broadcast by CNN as the singer's assistants. Contacted by Brasil 247, the press office of the program "Pânico na TV" stated that they are on vacation until August 7th.
Amy Winehouse's funeral concluded with Carole King's song "So Far Away." "Goodnight, my angel, sleep well. Mum and Dad love you very much," said Amy's father, visibly emotional, during the funeral. The singer had explicitly stated her wish for cremation, a wish that arose during a conversation with her father after her grandmother's funeral. She asked her father that the ashes be mixed in the same place. Her grandmother, Cynthia, who died of lung cancer in 2006, was a renowned jazz singer and had a great influence on her granddaughter's career. Among the guests at the ceremony, several celebrities were seen sporting hairstyles similar to the one worn by the singer. According to information from the Metro newspaper, Amy's father prevented her ex-husband from attending the farewell ceremony. "It would be a complete insult for him to be there," said the father. Blake Fielder-Civil is currently serving a 32-month prison sentence for robbery.
