Amy Winehouse Dead at Age 27

[elvisontheisland]

As reported by various news outlets across the UK.
Here's a link to the Guardian's obit.

What did you think of her and her music?

Wasn't really a fan. I loved Back to Black though. It's sad that she died, because she was so talented and had a wonderful voice, but her life was just tragic and honestly I'm not even surprised she has died. So in summary: Sad, but expected.

RIP to her soul

RIP to his soul

HER soul

I wasn't a huge fan of her music, but it's always sad when someone dies so early in life. 27 is just too young.

R.I.P.

In French we say that a tragedy never comes alone (un malheur n'arrive jamais seul). I know the two events are not in any way linked, but it does make it quite a grim day to see the awful images of Oslo and then hear of Amy Winehouse's death... :-(. May she rest in peace, after her most tumultuous life...

Oh Im so sad . I didnt even like her music or the way she acted but she has had such a troubled life and now it's ended so quickly... she didnt even have time to sort things out. Poor girl. RIP Amy .

Her father should have done more to save her, rather than flying to New York to pursue his career. He let his daughter die.

Well, I'm probably gonna disturb a lot of people but a huge part of me thinks she had it coming.

Nobody deserves to die obviously and I didn't wish her bad things at all but I find it hard to be very sorry for her when she wasted her talent and life so much when she had everyone trying to help her.

The fact she died one day after 92 innocent Norwegians, most of them young people who knew nothing of life and will never know nothing about it and of course thousand of anonymous people who lost their lives in stupid accidents & unfair diseases the day she passed away don't help me to feel more sympathy for her.

I'm still gonna say rip Amy.

Unless you've gone through it, I don't think you can make assumptions about her and drugs. I doubt she didn't want help at all and wanted live a life full of drugs. No one wants that unless drugs are what gives them pleasure, and they don't realize it.


When any famous person I knew dies suddenly, it just makes me sad. So what if it was expected? Unless you're biased that makes it none the less tragic. And if you want to disrespect the deceased, just smarten up. It really angers me to see people posting rude things about her after and before her death. Not that anyone is here though.

Anyways, I liked Rehab, never really listened to the others, and after hearing, I wish I had. R.I.P Amy, so much potential just gone like that.

I wasn't a fan of her music, but of course I am sad to see her dying this young. R.I.P. Amy.

Although, it was expected, I am not surprised....unfortunately.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

I agree with Leaf. Im one of the most anti-drugs people you could find and I have to say that I dont have a lot of sympathy for drug users or people who are into alcohol. But she is a young lady who was very talented and her death was a huge shock for me, and a very sad one. I think the comments of some people and the Facebook pages which have sprung up about her are disgraceful, surely the people who say these things wouldnt like people to be so disrespectful at their death's. She wasnt at peace during her life, surely she deserves peace now in her death.

Well, I was-and I am BIG fun of Amy, my rington is 'Back to Black' for years, I have her CD, know words of all her songs...then what could I possibly say in thread like this (which shouldn't be in entertainment section imo)? What a huge disaster was this weekend....dunno...I think all her fans will be aware Amy's missing in future, not now...when we don't see her again, and don't get any new CD and when we realize it's really over (no matter how her behaviour was lately, she could do any crap, ppl who loved her would still came home from a shitty concert and listen to her again). I don't know...I will miss her for sure, I can't believe there won't be anymore Amy Winehouse songs in future. Yeah, everybody knew she had so many addictions, name it she had it.. and I don't think anybody is really surprised she died...but the big blame is on her management (who was interested only to sell her, to arrange concerts that she couldn't give)..maybe also her parents (she's their kid, they should always help kids)...also herself... but maybe I'm just being judgemental without knowing facts...
I'm not judgemental for ppl who suffer from drugs or alcohol, these ppl r sick and need help. The fact that she died at 27 just means she didn't get this help. And ppl from her surroundings nobody seriously tried to help her (if they did - they wouldn't sent her to tour few weeks ago when she was sick), it makes me most sad, knowing that nobody cared and I guess she died alone?
Anyway....no..I'm not surprised she died, and yeah......I'll miss Amy Winehouse a lot!

Rest in Peace Amy. Now she is a member of Club 27

 

[Israeliboy]

R.I.P Amy, she will always stay a legend for me. She was a great singer, her voice made me feel good, her songs have great meaning to me, she was a singer you must adore.
I will miss her a lot. Amy, I love you!

R.I.P Amy, your Music was great, your voice too.

But I'm angry. Angry about those fucking TV, papers etc. There's a terrible accident in a beautiful city where more than 90 innocent, young people lose their lives undeservedly, which gave me a heartache of the most horrible sort, and all those reporters talk about what? They praise a normal singer who ruined her life the worst way possible, by throwing away her health. They make her person an idol. Also undeservedly.

However: R.I.P Amy, your Music was great, your voice too.

Amy's funeral will take place tomorrow... finally she will be at rest .

Meanwhile, a post-mortem examination into the death of Amy Winehouse has taken place. No cause of death has been given (the circumstances are not suspicious) while an inquest was opened and adjourned until 26 October. Results of further toxicology tests could take four weeks.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Amy is currently at Number 1 in the British Album Charts and Number 8 in the Singles. Oh it's so sad .

 

[Interrail]

It appears that Amy's producer Salaam Remi released on YT new song ('Round Midnight') which Amy recorded for new CD. He also denied speculations new CD was finished, he said there's no new CD, just parts of few songs, they don't know if it will be published ever

Cool song! And what a voice!
