Singer Amy Winehouse found dead

From Yahoo



Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her flat in north London, police said. She was 27 years old.
The soul singer struggled with drink and drug addictions. Her death is being treated as unexplained.
"Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square shortly before 4:05 pm (1505 GMT) today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased," a police statement said.
"On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."
Winehouse pulled out of a recent comeback tour following a disastrous performance in Serbia.
The singer initially pulled out of festival shows in Istanbul and Athens but her management then cancelled all her remaining gigs.

Amy is now part of the famous "27" club. Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison, and Cobain to name a few.

That's the first thing that came to my mind! How truly sad...I was an enormous fan, and I will miss her.

Hi

Some time ago I wrote something about one of her albums in this forum or another ... don't remember and too lazy to search. There was a prophetic reply (was it you Steve?) .. Not verbatim the post said that she had to clean her acts lest she ends up dead at an early age... :( A talent largely unfulfilled ... A troubled soul.
May she rest in peace

It's always sad when someone with talent, be they an athlete, actress or musician, pisses it away. If only they knew that the majority of us would die to be as gifted :( You just want to slap them and make them wake up.

Yes, all of the artists I mentioned died when they were 27. The timing of Cobain's death wasn't accidental. The story goes that he told people that he wanted to join the "27" club.

I've been on several forums since this story broke, and what amazes me is the total lack of respect/consideration/empathy for a human being who suffered through much of her life. I've read some awful words that I certainly won't repeat here, but I feel a little jaded right now about the dispassionate thoughts from our fellow human beings.

She only recorded two. FRANK and BACK TO BLACK. She has done a duet recently with Tony Bennett for his upcoming DUET II, and I beleive she completed her third album just recently.

Some people think that because you have fame and fortune that you should be happy. Fame and fortune doesn't mean that you don't have demons you are fighting. For some people, fame and fortune bring on the demons.
