Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported. The Back To Black singer was apparently found at 4pm

[Liberty Valance]

Rest in peace Amy Winehouse. A tragically short life for a very good R&B singer.

[bigredkitty1]

She wanted the drugs and alcohol more than she wanted her life. Not an unexpected outcome but still sad.

[golux]

Well put.
Unlike Morrison and Joplin, Amy could sing. Poor gal.
I always thought the F-me pumps video was very funny.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Prayers for her....yet another member of the rock star, Dead at 27 club..

Hendrix
Jim Morrison
Janis
Cobain
Pete Ham—Badfinger
Brian Jones

Many musicians were heavily into drugs in the late 60’s and 70’s. The ones who did not quit drugs are all dead.

Five Grammys? Really?

I've heard the name now and then, but that's about it...

YouTube has muted all her videos appareantly. But if the sound ever comes back give this a listen:
“Love is a Losing Game” (live)

Why do music stars have the desire to use drugs? Puzzle it just seems widespread.

[NoGrayZone]

I’m SHOCKED!!!!

Some people invite a Black Spot.

90 some children, at last report, are dead in Norway. More compelling news.

So for Amy Winehouse, to quote Curly Bill, "Well... Bye!"

There are too many, now. I'm unable, anymore, to bleed for the least sparrow that falls.

UK’s Janis Joplin? Also 27 when she died.

This will be the mantra.

[NoGrayZone]

"I guess rehab is really off she's on the table now."

[who knows what evil?]

I enjoy the artists listed at #24 with the exception of Joplin...tried to listen to Winehouse, but couldn't get past a minute or so of any of her videos.

Meh. Still; cashing out at 27 is too early.

[MaryFromMichigan]

Gotta say, Martin, that was well done and fast!

[LoneStarGI]

Sorry, but I don’t really feel anything for this girl. I’ll only say I hope she finds a measure of peace in death. I honestly don’t have much sympathy for someone who had everything and pissed it away, whose early death people have been predicting for years, not when dozens of innocent children and adults are lying dead in Norway.

I watched the first sixty seconds of the video. Didn’t understand it. It’s as though she’s from another planet and I imagine that’s because I was born in 1936 and there was real music filling the air.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I think it’s sad that our culture honors and enables sick people such as her. Yes she had talent, but she was also mentally unbalanced. Due to her talent, she and her hangers-on never saw that her obvious drug problems could lead her to an early grave. So she never got the help she needed, and the result is early death. It’s sad but unfortunately, not unpredictable or unexpected.

[bigbob]

Yep. Had it all, now deader’n a debt deal...

RIP Amy.
