Default Amy Winehouse is DEAD!!
This is shocking. I'm so saddened

When Chloe was younger and in the throes of the terrible 2's we used to sing "Chloe go to rehab we say yeah, yeah, yeah".

RIP Amy!

Just saw that on TV a few minutes ago, and my wife said, "Like that should be a surprise to anyone". She was a self-destructive drug addict.

I know. She didn't have the best of friends and what with that loser of a husband. She had so many opportunities to get herself sorted.

I suppose being jeered off the stage was the last straw. Still sad though.

It's very sad. Drug addiction claims so many lives. She was a tortured soul. At last she's found some peace.

She was a true talent. Her style of music was a throwback to the days of blues and jazz. She's on my iPod.

I liked some of her music, but she certainly was no role model for young people. This was forgone conclusion.

So many people told her to stop.. She didn't so the drugs did what drugs do, as they so often do.. What a waste.

What a waste of talent. I will miss her voice.
