Amy Winehouse Dead!
Amy Winehouse, who has died aged 27, was one of the most talented singer-songwriters of her generation, but struggled with substance abuse problems.
The Metropolitan Police said that officers were called to an address in Camden Square by London Ambulance Service shortly before 4.05pm after a woman
was found dead

Sounds Familiar!

Personally for me the more concerning news is this:

Which by my recollection is the biggest killing in the western hemisphere since 11/9/01

Personally, I have no sympathy.
She was a 'good' singer, but no role model.

Sad loss really some of her music even an old fogey like me liked, nobody wants to be on drugs and nobody wants to see thier dear ones in the state
drugs can put people into or loose them at such a young age.
Condolences to all her near and dear.

Another dead junky, sadly its her family who will really suffer and add the media intrusion they will suffer on top of that. It is a terrible time for
them.
On the flip side I'm sure all the junkies and dealers who enabled her will convince themselves they did nothing wrong and that she was some sort
angel who was destined to die young.

As my missus said, anyone who is going to be writing about troubled times in their life will relive it every time, and the more famous (and thus more
performances you do) there's going to be more desire to "have a little something to ease the pain"
Before you know it you drinking Jack by the bottle and snorting lines as long as the table, then your heart gives out.
Isn't that the same story with most of the troubled stars? Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain (ok he didn't OD but my point still stands)

No big surprise we live in a world where the less talent you have and the scummier you are makes you more likely to be a super star. Yes many great
talents from Byron, all the way through Oscar Wilde, DH, Lawerence, T E Lawence, Hendrix and Joplin have lived alternative lifestyles but they had
talent.
A couple of miles down the road from me a guy on bail from major drug deal charges died when he crashed his Scooby into a lamp post at high
velocity it has been turned into a shrine --- nuff said.

I could almost live with that - in return for the knowledge that what is likely to be in excess of a million pounds will be saved in trying and then
jailing that type of scum!!
As for Amy - no great loss as far as i'm concerned. 85 kids in Norway however............... Kinda puts the life and death of that
junkie into perspective really

The sad thing is that her father was on a transatlantic flight as the anouncement was made. He probably
will be the last to find out.

Hmm, I would have though a little more respect for someones passing would be in order. I don't care what or who she was but she has died and
left loved ones! She was a person and I doubt she ever did any of you any harm even if she did hurt herself!
I too am moved by the events in Norway which should be more newsworthy and of note! This is a truly terrible thing that happened

I'm afraid I like many have obviously have little respect for someone so hell bent on self destruction and who i'm sure in coming days
will find didnt die a natural death. I do however feel for her family and loved ones.
This week other than the tragedy in Norway, we've seen 5 people seemingly murdered in a Stockport hospital. It is the likes of these victims who
get my utmost respect and sympathies. Sorry if that sounds harsh but that's my feelings

Kurt Cobain always struck me as being incredibly vain and desperate for legendary status (despite himself and his many fans claiming the exact
opposite!). He spoke of joining the '27 Club' since childhood... I'm just surprised he didn't shoot himself at 00:01 on the
day of his 27th birthday for maximum dramatic effect!
As for Winehouse... can't deny that when she was on form, she was on fire! That said, hers was always going to be a dramatic demise such was
the absolute chaos of her life.
It's Evolution Baby!

So if it was you're daughter or son that had died through drug/alcohol related problems you would be on here saying what a waste of space and
that the person deserved to die ...........................
I do not think so. so why all the heartless coments about a person you only know through the media?
