Amy Winehouse Dead At 27




Singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her flat in North London, police have said.
The death is being treated as 'unexplained'.
The Met 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."
Amy Winehouse was a powerhouse of a singer-songwriter, who tragically became far more famous for her off-stage antics than for her undoubted musical talents.
These abilities transcended the traditional genres of R&B, soul and jazz to create a unique sound that was much imitated once she burst onto the musical scene.
Her debut album Frank (2003) drew critical acclaim, but it was the iconic Back to Black (2006) that garnered her an international following, and went on to win her six major Grammys (the joint record for most won by a female artist in one year).
Winehouse was credited with leading the charge in recent years of respected British female musicians, including Duffy and Adele, while her distinctive, bee-hived style made her the muse of other artists and fashion designers including Karl Lagerfield.
Her problems with drug-abuse and self-harm were publicly documented, as was her tempestuous marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil. She took an ironic look at her own life in the song Rehab (2007), but this wariness tragically proved insufficient to protect her from the demons that constantly threatened to overcome her.

The sad part of what you wrote is, is a person is judge by their actions then what does your actions, yes actions say about you. God is the ONLY judge, and for you to speak so nasty about a person's death regardless of how they died, and then speaking that she is going to HELL...you obviously don't know that the cursing that you do, envokes demons within yourself..oops guess she'll see you there and you can then tell her, instead of feeling empathy as God or Jesus would even if she is to be judge, you thought you were higher than God himself..hmmm

Amy was a great singer,who like most singers who's fame comes too quickly for them to handle,succumbed to the pressures of being in the publics eye 24-7. Don't judge someone until uve walked in their shoes. Try to image what her life had to have been like when she was critized on and off stage and trying to cope with a troubled marriage and family relationships. Amy.....there's no more pain for u. Ur music will continue to live on and my God grant ur soul eternal rest.
