(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Amy Winehouse's family are set to give their first sit down television interview.

The parents of the late singer will open up to CNN host Anderson Cooper for his new daytime talk show which premieres on September 12.

Amy's father Mitch, mother Janis, brother Alex and boyfriend Reg Traviss will sit down together for the first time to speak out about the Back to Black star who was found dead in her home in July age 27.

Mitch announced today that the Amy Winehouse Foundation will launch on September 14 in honour of his daughter.

"We will turn our grief into positive action," he wrote on his Twitter page.

The launch of the charity had been delayed because of a problem registering the organisation.

"Somebody else pinched [the name] off of us before we could get it registered. All these donations which are coming in - we don't know what to do with them at the moment," Mitch said last month.

"The plan is to help all children - not just rehabilitation, not just substance abuse. It's to help all children in need."

Anderson Cooper has also taped an interview with the family of the late Russell Armstrong for his new show.

They discussed the suicide of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star who hanged himself last month. (C) Cover Media
