Florence Welch would be 'honoured' to perform at an Amy Winehouse tribute concert.

Amy died aged 27 last July and her father Mitch has confirmed a show in her honor will take place later this year. Florence would love to be involved if at all possible.

'It'd be an honour to sing at the tribute concert but I have to see how it fits in with touring,' she said.

Florence was shocked when she heard Amy had passed away last year. Although the two weren't really friends Florence was a big fan of the soul star's music.

'I was devastated when Amy died. It was such a shock, it shouldn't have happened. We weren't close, but I thought she was an incredible performer. The first time I saw her was the first time I'd performed at Glastonbury ' the really muddy year. We had some time off so my friends and I went to watch her and she was incredible,' she told Look magazine.

Jessie J and Lily Allen are rumoured to be playing at the tribute concert.

Simon Cowell wants his next singing contestant winner to 'perform in space.'
The music mogul is partnering up with Virgin businessman Richard Branson to send the next Britain's Got Talent winner above the atmosphere.
Richard's company has just built Virgin Galactic, a 2500mph spaceship that goes just above the earth's atmosphere, giving passengers a weightless ride.
British newspaper the Mirror reports that Simon wants his triumphant act to be one of the first people to board the ship.
'We are trying to work out a way so that the winner of the show gets to go up in the spacecraft and will be the first person to perform in space,' Simon explained on a UK television broadcast this week. "I am being serious, I swear to God. You could be the first singer or dog act, whatever, performing in space.'
Simon is interested in boarding the spaceship himself. He has always been interested in the sidereal.
'I would go on the spaceship myself,' Simon gushed. 'I love the idea that, if they are up for it, they have the option of performing in front of the whole planet in space. It can't be compulsory, but it will happen.'
The Virgin Galactic will be available for space flights as early as 2013.
The sixth season of Britain's Got Talent will premiere in April.
