RIP Amy Winehouse

[tvkim]

Singer Amy Winehouse, who achieved worldwide fame with her album Back to Black, has been found dead at her flat in north London.

The body of the 27-year-old Grammy award-winner was discovered at the property in north London by emergency services at around 3.54pm on Saturday afternoon.

It is understood her death is being treated as "unexplained".

Her death comes just a month after she called off some European tour dates after she was jeered for a shambolic performance during a concert in Serbia.

Winehouse's 2006 breakthrough album Back to Black won five Grammy awards, but her music has since become overshadowed by her chaotic lifestyle and run-ins with the law.

A lot of artists have talent, many have stuggles and have tortured souls, but few artists have the skill level to possess that trouble soul and express it in such a soulful as Amy W. did. She was by far my fav singer of the in 2000' s, and very comparable to any female singer in any decade. Since Frank, she dominated my musical tastes. How I discovered the album Frank was itself a miracle and a freak accident. But once I heard it, I was hooked.

I conclude by saying the world is a little less soulful, a little less thoughtful, a little less honest.

Sad but hardly unexpected. Endless drivel on the media here about whether it was the pressure the industry put her under etc. Erm, no. She took hard drugs ...

Oh shit - this is horrible. She was blisteringly talented. That is such a total horrible piece of news. poor girl.

One of the truly great voices to have emerged in the past few years. Such a tragic waste and so young. RIP Amy.
