In other news, chairman and CEO of Universal Music U.K. David Joseph has destroyed Winehouse’s unreleased demos, according to Rolling Stone. At the time of her death, Winehouse had two studio albums: “Frank” and “Back to Black.” The demos were for a third, unfinished LP. Joseph told Billboard: “It was a moral thing. Taking a stem or a vocal is not something that would ever happen on my watch. It now can’t happen on anyone else’s.”
