BREAKING NEWS: Amy Winehouse, 27, found dead at her London flat

Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported.
The Back To Black singer was apparently found at 4pm and her death is believed to be unexplained.
Winehouse had been seen with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier this week as the teenager took to the stage at the iTunes festival.

While she didn't perform any tracks, Winehouse apparently begged the crowds to buy Dionne's album.
A source said: 'Amy staggered onstage and grabbed the mic to beg the crowd to buy her protege’s new album.'
Winehouse's appearance at the concert came after she cancelled her European tour following a disastrous performance in June when she stumbled onto the stage in Belgrade and gave an incoherent performance appearing very disorientated and removed from reality.

Following the concert which saw fans enraged and the subsequent video that circulated to millions she cancelled the remaining dates of her European tour.

A statement released by the troubled singer's spokesperson said that the 27-year-old would be given 'as long as it takes' to recover.
The statement read: '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.'

OMG! I know she has been battling demons, but dang it is still a shock!

This is horrible news. Her story is a tragic one. I wish I could say I'm shocked, but it seemed like only a matter of time.

May she

I'm so sorry to hear this but am totally not surprised. She was younger than me but looked about 20 years older. What a waste.

Brad Russ · 07-23-2011, 02:49 PM

RIP Amy

^ That was a very eloquent tribute...thanks for sharing!!

sunshinefizzy · 07-23-2011, 07:39 PM

It's a shame; especially with her being so young. I just have to be happy she's at peace now.

JamesG · 07-23-2011, 09:33 PM

Very sad, I've been a fan of her from the beginning.

I was really hoping she was going to pull through, but by looking at her and hearing about the lifestyle that she lived - the news is not surprising.

Also sad that she leaves only a small piece of music behind and we'll never know her full potential.

Poor Amy

Drugs Suck--Just Say NO!

We dont need Amy for drug awareness. This $%#@ has been going on for 40 years!

dlemond · 07-23-2011, 11:06 PM

Just tragic.

Rest in Peace.

Why is this not surprising?

She was beautiful (at first) and talented, but she let her dance with drugs and alcohol overpower her. Everyone tried to get her clean and sober, but to no avail.

27 seems to be this tragic age when many young rock artists die.

RIP Amy.

The path I was on definitely would have killed me within a few years, but thanks to amazing friends, a new kind of willpower, and mostly God, I can say that I'm alive and happy. over the last two months, I'm the happiest that Iv'e been in years, and I will never take life for granted again. It's still a daily struggle, but I think I'm going to make it.

Thanks again for your poignant words Reverend Jim. My hope and prayer is that your words will sink in for atleast one person out there, and their life will be saved as a result of your beautiful, and selfless words. You're definitely one of a kind, and that's a compliment. Much love to you my friend!!
