Title: Police: Singer Amy Winehouse dies at age 27 Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on July 23, 2011, 12:13:35 PM LONDON (AP) -- Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, was found dead Saturday in her London home, police said. She was 27.
Winehouse shot to fame with the album "Back to Black," whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse - with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos - one of music's most recognizable stars. Police confirmed that a 27-year-old female was pronounced dead at the home in Camden Square northern London; the cause of death was not immediately known. London Ambulance Services said Winehouse had died before the two ambulance crews it sent arrived at the scene. I wasn't a fan. That is young, my daughter turned just 26 last Sunday. link (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_OBIT_AMY_WINEHOUSE?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-07-23-12-53-42) Title: Re: Police: Singer Amy Winehouse dies at age 27 Post by: 2Stater on July 23, 2011, 12:23:54 PM Everything I read about her led me to believe this was going to happen, sooner than later. She had been on a self-destructive path for a long time.

Quote Last month, Winehouse canceled her European comeback tour after she swayed and slurred her way through barely recognizable songs in her first show in the Serbian capital of Belgrade. Booed and jeered off stage, she flew home and her management said she would take time off to recover.

Amy Winehouse joins the 27 Forever club. It is a really big club. Here are a few names from long list of celebrities. They are musicians only. http://newsletters.blush.com/artAndMusic/cursedMusicians/index.htm Title: Re: Police: Singer Amy Winehouse dies at age 27 Post by: BAMAWV on July 23, 2011, 05:42:17 PM OK, who had the date July 23 in their pool? I wonder how many 24 hr. news talking heads will be bragging about calling this train wreck. DA Bill O'Reilly immediately comes to mind. Even us sidewalk reporters saw this coming.Title: Re: Police: Singer Amy Winehouse dies at age 27 Post by: BAMAWV on July 23, 2011, 05:49:17 PM Very sad....at age 27, something happens to our body....not sure what...but it won't tolerate the level of drugs and alcohol that it did in teen and early twenty years. Wow. The curse of 27. Do you read Blush a lot? Just kidding. This may point to the fact that these people are surrounded with "Yes" men/women and in this industry there may not be anyone with the character/courage to tell them to stop before it is too late.Amy Winehouse joins the 27 Forever club.

I can remember that all my life until then, I had to run around in the rain to get wet, because I was so skinny. But at 27, I started gaining weight and had to work hard to control it. Now, it controls me. ;D |
