Very sad story, very great waste of a wonderful musical talent.

BBC News - Amy Winehouse found dead, aged 27

Her Back to Black album was one of the best recordings of the past decade, but it seems that psychological demons and addictions got the best of her. I'm very sad at this news. She gave a lot of people a great deal of pleasure.
 
Always shocking to see someone that young die, but I guess there's another member of Club 27, that unfortunate list.
 
Amy Winehouse found dead in London home Sky News Reports

Singer Amy Winehouse found dead - Entertainment - Music - TODAY.com

MSNBC said:
British singer Amy Winehouse was reportedly found dead in her home in north London, Sky News reported. She was 27.

In June, the Grammy Award winner had checked out of a treatment program in London. Her spokesman Chris Goodman had said the entertainer had been looking forward to touring Europe this summer.

Anyone surprised? To me this headline is akin to a headline that read: "Fat man found with jelly donut".


Somehow I'm sure her death was not due to "natural causes." I found her music to be moribrund and her life story TSTL. RIP Amy.
 
RIP. she was a talented singer.

Well, they tried to make her go to rehab.
 
Such a shame, but drugs will kill you.

Funny about that, my friends and I wondered if Beck was gonna make it past 27.

I found her music moribrund and contemptuous. I wasn't a fan and I like all sorts of music - in fact there's very little I don't like. Personal tastes perhaps... and certainly a reflection on one's short life - but really.... this wasn't forseen? @phattonez "Always shocking".... really? I posted this story almost the same time as Andalublue... I characterize it as shocking as: "Fat man found with jelly donut".

It's sad. She was so incredibly talented. The talented ones always leave us too soon.
 
Re: Amy Winehouse found dead in London home Sky News Reports

I wasn't really a fan of her music, but I hope she was able to find peace before she died. Many people who abuse drugs and alcohol have deep depression or emotional issues. We can only speculate some of the things she was going through, but I do hope that she found peace. R.I.P. Amy Winehouse.

I will miss Amy Winehouse's music, which was awesome! Like so many other young singers, she died a tragic death. Her demons got the best of her.

At age 27, yeah it is. Most of the other people on Club 27 died of alcohol/drugs, and those were all shocking as well.
 
Re: Amy Winehouse found dead in London home Sky News Reports

I'm quite envious of my little sister who got to see her Tonight Show performance live. I'm typically not a fan of that type of music, but she just had a voice that you couldn't ignore. I wasn't really a Winehouse fan, but I did love "Rehab".
 
Re: Amy Winehouse found dead in London home Sky News Reports

I just don't have a ton of sympathy for people like this.

Yeah she had a great talent.

But as a person I doubt I would have wanted to deal with her.

One time working on a music video the entire production was held up for hours. Because the lead singer of the band met a chick the night before and dropped acid with her. And I just thought to myself, "you little dumbass punk. Not only are you screwing up an opportunity most people just dream of you are also screwing with all our (the production crew) lives and wasting a ton of money."

Tom Waits is still around.

Well, not ALL of the talented ones leave us too soon, thankfully.

Somehow when a person has known drug problems, is viewed in public with those problems, goes to rehab multiple times and then is found dead at age 27... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say of an OVERDOSE, it's not shocking. It's a shame.. a waste .. even a pity. But not shocking.

Do you think "Fat man found eating a jelly donut" is also shocking? See... I don't. :shrug:

Well, you tried that line 3 times now and it still isn't funny.
 
I'm not surprised.

She had her fun, now she's done.

Sad.

While the method of death may not be shocking, the fact that anyone dies can definitely be shocking.

Keith Richards is still playing.

Doing those kind of drugs is teasing with death. Same thing as when young with friends would race a train across intersection ( no crossing gates ). Never got touched although we did have the inside of our car lit up like a mega watt fluorescent light from the train's light. But when you are young you just feel bulletproof.
