Not unexpected news, was just a question of when!  Such a sad waste of a talent and a life.  I always likened her to janis joplin.  Rip Amy


Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

I'd been hoping she could beat her demons and produce another Back To Black.  Not to be, so sad.

All this "not unexpected" mens bits (I don't especially mean here - it's all over all the news comments). Plenty of people beat drug problems and mental health issues. It's a shame she couldn't.

Sad for those she left behind, why do people feel the need to judge?

It is a loss to music, last year some time i saw a picture of her & she had put some weight back on & looked really good.  I really thought she was on the road to recovery.  I guess the saying Live fast die young applies to Amy. Im sure she will be put in the "greats who went to soon" category along with jimi Hendrix, Jim morrison, Janice joplin & so on.  Who incidentaly also died at 27 years old.

RIP Amy, lets hope you find the peace in death that you couldnt find in life :( .x.
Is loving how the twins are really getting into planting seeds this year!  two for the price of one!! :D http://i46.tinypic.com/zy7ww8.jpg[/img]

Really sad to hear the news. She was so talented and too young to die, but I suppose the body can only take so much abuse before it gives out. I am sad for her family who seemed to try everything to help her. What a terrible shame she won't reach even greater heights with her music and live her life with more happiness in it. busy_lizzie

I had listened to a programme about Tony Bennett on Friday. He had sung a duet with Amy Winehouse which was played. It was great, such a shame there will be no more from her, I enjoyed her music.
Smile, it confuses people.

She was an amazing singer.  I think maybe her talent was too big to live with comfortably.

RIP, Amy.  The world is a little less without you in it.

fame is harsh task master.
addictive drugs are hard demon to beat once they snare you. 
Was never a fan but still find it sad.

Everything has a bad side and a good side. At least British youth will have one less bad example of how to live.

Addiction is dreadful. I found it near impossible to get off the cigs, so it must be far worse to get of something stronger. Perhaps she wiill be an example to others perhaps not. When we are young it seems that nothing can touch us.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

I was still shocked somehow, I guess I expected her to sober up one of these days. It's a great pity to have such talent but to be so fragile, it seems quite unfair. I do think that she made so many attempts to get off the addictions, but when you go back to frequenting the same places, pubs, friends, it is surely inevitable to fall back into the old ways. I am sure she saw her dealers every day on the streets of Camden. I think only a radical change in lifestyle can help in this type of situation, when you are that vulnerable, you have to be taken away from all temptation.
It's a very sad day for her family, I feel very sorry that they had to see such a public, undignified fall from grace of the person who for them remained surely a much loved child. A crying shame.

I find it sad that people are leaving alcohol and cigarettes as gifts outside her house, obviously thinking that her lifestyle was cool.

As Shirton says, it is hard enough giving up cigs but to be surrounded by party people 24/7 and with hangers-on constantly offering you drugs, it must be nigh on impossible to keep saying no. Its not like there are many 'normal' activities available if you are famous, and at 27 knitting and gardening usually don't appeal. RIP.
