This is a breaking news story, she has been found dead in her apartment. Well... nobody saw this coming...
Not a big loss. I find it hard to have sympathy for people with such self-destructive behavior. It's a shame for her family members, but that's as far as my sympathy extends.
This just in, the NFLPA* will have no comment today and therefore no vote due to Amy Winehouse's death.
Should've said yes, yes, yes to Rehab. Well you know it's an overdose. She was 27 - same as Janis, Brian Jones, Hendrix, Morrison and Cobain. Not sure if they'll release all kinds of unreleased material, or if she's got enough of a legacy to be in the "27 Club". Jimi, Janis, and Nirvana had 3 albums before they died, The Doors had 6. All had a lot of unreleased posthumous work. Amy Winehouse only had 2 albums. It's also a bit different when someone dies of a drug OD now as opposed to 1970/1971 when people still didn't know as much about those hard drugs. Plus, Amy seemed way more troubled, didn't she slap or punch a couple people?
I can't joke about death too much. She was sick and I'm sure those she leaves behind are grieving. Her death makes me think of Layne Staley. Many parallels between those two.
Billie Holiday as well. Sometimes the bus enters the turn to fast and makes it around to the other side, other times the bus does not and goes over the cliff, and that can happen on any day in her situation.
Kurt Cobain overdosed on a 12 guage shotgun. Well, lead overdose, I guess that's somewhat accurate. sex...drugs...rock-n-roll...death. What a glamorus life
She was only 27!?! Speaking of Keith Richards, the Stones should really set up a clinic to teach fledgling stars how to strategize better in regards to using drugs. They would receive full blood transfusions to keep rockin' (rumor has it).
Cobain was a heroin addict who'd escaped from rehab just days prior. And his body was loaded with heroin and other drugs when he died. The circumstances surrounding his death are suspicious to some. But drug abuse certainly compounded his emotional problems and he'd been suicidal weeks prior.
FREAKY! “If you want look at it from a statistical point of view, you can say, what’s the chance that that would happen by luck alone?” says Jeff Rosenthal, a professor in the department of statistics at the University of Toronto and author of Struck By Lightening: The Curious World of Probabilities. As he explains, the best way to do that is to compile a list of pop musicians who died young, and see if an unusual percentage of them died at age 27. So the Globe did just that, compiling a list of 115 musicians from the rock era who died under the age of 50, and it turned out that 27 was by far the most common age, applying to 23 of the 115. The next most common age was 30, which covered nine deaths, followed by 25 (eight), 24 (seven), and 33 (six). 23 out of 115...... Weird... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...-a-lot-to-do-with-coincidence/article2108228/
Well, I think there is a lesson in her death about drug usage, or over indulgence, when the star is wealthy the usual brake on behaviour, money, is not an issue.
What a sick debate. The woman is dead. I don't think her friends or family care whether she gets into a club that doesn't even exist.
She was very gifted and her back to black album is amazing. Too bad she couldn't shake her demons off. It seemed to me that, like Charlie Sheen, she embraced her lifestyle and when asked to go to rehab she said "no, no, no"
