Amy Winehouse found dead in London apartment


27-year-old British pop, soul, jazz singer, Amy Winehouse, died in her Camden Square London apartment Saturday, said police.

Authorities discovered Winehouse's body around 8 p.m. London time.

Amy's tragic death is the final chapter in her highly publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol; which she bodly sang about in her hit song, "Rehab".

Before her death, shocking videos of an extremely impaired Winhouse being booed off stage in Belgrade, Serbia, were posted on YouTube.

In 2007, Amy Winhouse and Prince shared the stage in London, as Prince played guitar and Winhouse sang "Love Is A Losing Game".

The Iconic Stevie Wonder, once compared Winehouse to a "young Etta James".

Elton John called the Beehive-hairdo-wearing-songstress with a 60s flare, one of the best performers he had ever seen.

Truthfully, I am saddened by Winhouse's death, but I am not the least bit surprised.

She was a runaway train wreck, just waiting to happen.

May she rest in peace and may her music live forever.

  1. You are right. She was very strange and troubled from the beginning. Its always sad when someone dies because they can't shake a drug addiction. Its even sadder when they have as much talent as her.

    I think I'll go to listen to "I'm No Good" a few times and go to sleep.

  2. Truth, whenever a young person with so much potential dies, it's heartbreaking. Amy was obviously in a lot of emotional pain.

  8. A testament for a reality check on what is the accurate definition of success, or at best the sad loss of someone who was virtually lost. Very sad situation when anyone dies a senseless death, and now the only comments that have any appropriate meaning, God bless her sole and pray that she is finally at peace.
