Amy Winehouse may be gone but her story still lives on through the family she left behind after her untimely death on July 23. In the first interview since her death, Winehouse's family will sit down with Anderson Cooper for his new weekly syndicated talk show, "Anderson," which kicks off its debut Sept. 12.

"I’ve followed her career for a long time," said Cooper. "Her music is extraordinary. And she’s such a remarkable talent. What’s remarkable about this family is they’ve been so public before her death about trying to get her help."

The interview, which is scheduled to take place on Friday at the show's Jazz at Lincoln Center studio, will examine the singer's self-destructive behavior and her family's attempts to help her.
"We want it to be a look at what happened to her and the struggles that she was facing and the struggles that the family was facing in trying to get [her] help and her incredible talent and career," said Cooper.

It will be the Winehouse's first appearance together to talk about Amy Winehouse's death. And it is being promoted as an "exclusive." Cooper said his producers have been in touch with the Winehouse family for several weeks. "I'm glad they're willing to talk to us," he said.

Cooper broke the news himself Tuesday afternoon. Standing in front of his studio audience, and a few reporters, he recorded several on-camera promos for the Sept. 12 premiere of Anderson, one of which included the Winehouse family exclusive.
