LONDON (AP) — Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, was found dead Saturday in her London home, police said. She was 27.

Winehouse shot to fame with the album "Back to Black," whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse — with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos — one of music's most recognizable stars.

My theory is that it is the point where their aging body has gotten just old enough that the abuse is more than it could take when it was just a little bit younger...

I dunno the why but the list is long.

Such a shame too, what a waste of talent over the years.

I remember about three or four years ago, I made an off-the-cuff post at FR saying that if Winehouse didn’t face her problem and get real help, she wasn’t going to make 30. Can’t say I’m happy at being right. It’s terrible to see anyone destroy themselves, especially someone so young.

It’s always tragic when a life ends unnecessarily at a young age, especially when it was totally avoidable. Like most Freepers, I wasn’t a fan of Amy Winehouse but I half-expected she would end up dead of drugs and alcohol abuse. Its too bad no one could save Amy from herself. Condolences to her family and her fans.

To be old and wise one must first survive being young and stupid.

JeSUS! Shock! I suppose it shouldn’t be a shock, but her age just makes you shake your head. RIP, and I hope she does find peace now, finally.

She had a really good voice.

Just not in her head.
