Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, has been found dead at her home, the Press Association has reported. Last month, the north Londoner pulled out of her European tour after she was jeered at her comeback gig in Serbia for appearing too drunk to perform. For 90 minutes, she mumbled through parts of songs and at times left the stage - leaving her band to fill in. The troubled singer had a long battle with drink and drugs which overshadowed her musical career in recent years. A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that a 27-year-old woman had died in Camden and that the cause of death was as yet unexplained. London Ambulance Service had been called to the flat at 1554 BST and sent two ambulances but the woman died, it said. Winehouse had won widespread acclaim, aged 20, with her 2003 debut album, Frank. But it was 2006's Back to Black which brought her worldwide stardom, winning five Grammy Awards. --------------------------------------------------- I'm crying right now! RIP bb gurl! </3

Rest in peace. I thought the age 27 "curse" was over, but I guess not.

I heard the news about Amy Winehouse. I'm incredibly sad. I didn't know her but I met her a few times and got to hear her sing before she blew up. She was a beautiful and talented girl. I'm angry. What a waste of a gifted person. What a shame she saw no hope and continued living her life in that manor. I have been that low emotionally and mentally and that is overwhelming. I keep asking myself why some of us are spared and the others are made examples. I'm very angry and sad. I don't know why it's bothering me so much. Sometimes I think this job will be the death of us all, or at least the emotional death of us all. Maybe that is why as a little kid in sunday school I learned that God didn't want false gods or idols. I thought it was terribly selfish of God as a child but I think I get it now. He didn't want us following people or things that are imperfect and not so much for the followers but for the gods and/or idols who will never be what everyone wishes or needs them to be because we are made imperfect. He knew we wouldn't be able to handle the pressure, the shame, the glory, or the power the spotlight brings. I am distraught. I am also extremely grateful and thankful for the people who love me and support me. Without such amazing friends and family who knows where I'd be. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for peace in your hearts.

Back To Black is now #1 on iTunes, Amy might sell enough to re-enter the Billboard 200 at #1. All she needs to sell is around 70K by the end of tomorrow.
Amy Winehouse's Billboard U.S. Chart History July 23, 2011
By Gary Trust, New York Amy Winehouse, who died on Saturday, had a strong history on Billboard U.S. charts despite releasing just two albums -- the Grammy-winning "Back to Black" and her 2003 debut, "Frank" -- during her career.
"Back to Black" reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in March 2008, almost a year after it debuted, spending 78 total weeks on the chart. It's sold 2.3 million to-date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
"Frank" is her only other Billboard 200 entry, having debuted and peaked at No. 61 in December 2007. It's sold 307,000 units.
As for her singles, "Rehab" peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 2007 and has sold 1.7 million downloads. Her only other Hot 100 hit, "You Know I'm No Good," reached No, 77 in 2008 and has sold 729,000.
The songs were biggest at adult alternative radio, peaking at Nos. 7 and 2, respectively, on Billboard's Triple A airplay chart in 2007. "Rehab" also rose to No. 13 on Pop Songs and No. 14 on Adult Pop Songs.
In a statement issued Saturday, Recording Academy president Neil Portnow said: "Five-time Grammy winner Amy Winehouse was a dynamic performer and musician who seamlessly blended rock, jazz, pop, and soul and created a sound all her own. Her rich, soulful and unique voice reflected her honest songwriting and earned her a devoted fan following, critical acclaim, and the genuine respect and admiration of her musical peers. She will forever be remembered for her immense talent, and her music will live on for generations to come. Our deepest sympathies go out to her family, friends, and fans during this difficult time."
--------------------
Predictions by the end of 2011:
"Rehab" will definitely cross 2 million. "You Know I'm No Good' will cross 1 million. "Back To Black" will hopefully get to 2.7 million. "Frank" will sell 500K.

What killed me the most was not seeing the pictures of Amy being carried out, but the pictures of her best friend Aisleyne just collapsing in the middle of the street in tears.
Amy was an amazing talent and I still am in tears. "Wake Up Alone" was that one song that I listened to ad nauseam during my breakup. "Back to Black" and "Frank" were nothing short of perfect representations of Amy.
Music lost one of its greats today and it will never recover. Amy was one of a kind and you won't ever find that again.
i hope she's happier now up there with God.

RIP She had such talent in song writing and a voice that was great. Sad to see it all go down hill due to drugs and alcohol

Amy Winehouse -- Signs of Life When Help ArrivedSources connected with the Amy Winehouse death investigation tell TMZ ... paramedics found "signs of life" when they arrived Saturday afternoon, but she died before they could transport her. Sources were not specific as to the exact nature of the "signs of life." According to our sources, law enforcement "is operating under the suspicion" this an overdose, although police will not say on the record it's an overdose until the first postmortem exam Sunday morning. As TMZ first reported, police on the scene determined there were no signs of foul play and there is nothing suspicious about the death. --------------------------------------------------------- I'm still in shock!
