Amy Winehouse Found Dead....

[Steel Panther]

more info to come

Edit: (obvious) suspected drug overdose.

Miss Winehouse, who came to fame with her debut album Frank in 2003, was found at her flat in north London this afternoon, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed.

They say that they received a call at 4.05pm calling for help for a woman in Camden. Paramedics were called to the scene, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The death is "unexplained" but not thought to be suspicious, according to police. Sources have told the Sunday Mirror that an overdose of drink and drugs is the suspected cause of death.

Last month, Miss Winehouse cancelled her entire European tour, after an on-stage breakdown in Serbia. A statement on her website said "Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen."

Friends of the singer had reportedly voiced fears that she was drinking herself to death, according to the Sun. They said: "Her drinking is totally out of control. Amy is constantly out of control on vodka.

"She is rattling about at home in north London drinking herself into oblivion. Three times this week she has been so drunk she passed out."

Rest In Peace.

Gee. What a surprise.

How truly sad to again lose a great talent due to drugs/alcohol. She sadly joins the infamous "27" club.

Rest in peace Amy! Your talent will be missed, and I will cherish what you have given us so far!

[Agent Bond]

It was only a matter of time because with the egos and money that celebrities have, they're in denial about their drug problems and feel invincible. With that kind of attitude, once you're hooked, you're dead.

R.I.P.

I'll post more when when it becomes available. Suicide or drug overdose... wonder which it is.

Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London Saturday, the UK Press Association reported. She was 27.

The "Rehab" singer had a history of battling drugs and alcohol and recently left a British rehabilitation program that a representative said was intended to prepare her for scheduled European concerts.

But she cut short the European concert tour in Belgrade, Serbia, last month after she staggered around the stage and stumbled through several songs.

Anyone familiar with the 27 club? Here's another one.

This has indeed been a very sad weekend here in Scandinavia. First nearly 100 teenagers executed in Norway(which is way too close to where I live). And now this. I didn't respect her but it's always sad to see young talented people to lose their battle with drugs. I've just returned from my holiday and what a nice way to come back.

I am not surprised the way she was living her lifestyle, but sad none the less

And Keith Richards outlives another one

[ArmyOfDarknessAW]

Wow this is not really surprising but it's sad. To die at such a young age is tragic.

[Tom Hiddleston]

The only thing that is suprising about her death, is that she lived for as long as she did.

[FreddieFerric]

Sad. A tortured soul.

[ChadFL]

Another unlucky 27.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_club

The 27 Club, also occasionally known as the Forever 27 Club or Club 27, is a name for a group of influential rock music artists who died at the age of 27. The 27s: The Greatest Myth of Rock & Roll details the history of the phenomenon.

All that talent left to waste thanks to drugs and alcohol. RIP, Ms. Winehouse.

EDIT: Oh, and would you look at that. Dead at 27. Looks like the 27 Club has a new member.

[Johnny Vinyl]

Thank you for this one Amy!

Those lyrics made her famous but ultimately ended up killng her. Such a shame. RIP Winehouse.

I received news from Norway to our summer cabin, returned home and now this.

Ps. I see no point blaming big egos here, just weak human spirit. R.I.P. Amy.
