Contactmusic.com has included Green Day's new song "Amy" in a list of artists who've shown tribute to the late singer Amy Winehouse.

Green Day debuted the song "Amy" at their surpise show in Costa Mesa, California in August 2011. After the show Billie Joe wrote this on GreenDay.com
[quote]Thanks everyone for coming out to the show Thursday night and supporting us and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We have been in jamming and writing new songs for the last few months. It felt great to play these new Green Day songs live and share our "work in progress".. Stay tuned for more!

We posted a full review of the Costa Mesa show by our friend Omar right here (full setlist here). You can listen to the song and view the lyrics on this page.

I really hope we'll get a high quality recording of this from the band. It's such a wonderful song.

The Contact Music article focuses on a new song by Patti Smith, but lists some other bands who have paid tribute to Winehouse such as Coldplay, M.I.A. and Dionne Broomfield.
