OZCUBAN Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 BREAKING NEWS: Amy Winehouse, 27, found dead at her London flat By SARAH BULL Last updated at 5:54 PM on 23rd July 2011 London Ambulance Service found singer at 3.54pm but unable to save her life Police treated death as 'unexplained' Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported. The Back To Black singer was apparently found at the property in by emergency services at 3.54pm this afternoon, according to sources, and her death is being treated as 'unexplained' by police. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: 'Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. Passing: Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home this afternoon 'On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. 'Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.’ Picture of health: Amy was spotted out and about in London earlier this month It is not known whether Amy’s father Mitch actually knows about his daughter’s death and Sky News have confirmed that he is currently on a plane to New York to take part in a Jazz festival. Winehouse had been seen with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier this week as the teenager took to the stage at the iTunes festival. She refused to join in for Mama Said, but did support the 14-year-old with a few dance moves before urging the crowd to buy Dionne's new album Good For The Soul. 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 singer would be given 'as long as it takes' to recover. Daddy's girl: Amy was very close to her father Mitch, who is believed not to know about his daughter's death 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.' Winehouse had been working on her long-awaited new album, the follow-up to her 2006 breakthrough multi-million selling Back To Black, for the past three years. Singing sensation: Amy had huge hits with tracks including Rehab and Back To Black and is seen here performing at Glastonbury in 2008 Winehouse has had a troubled life which has included various stints in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. In an interview in 2008, her mother Janis said she would be unsurprised if her daughter died before her time. She said: 'I've known for a long time that my daughter has problems. But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realise my daughter could be dead within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly. 'I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road. 'I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She's on their path. It's like watching a car crash - this person throwing all these gifts away.'

gigabyte056 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 A great talent lost to drugs, I totally disagree with the picture posted above, we are well aware of her condition, it is a disease and there is no need to mock it.
dB69 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 A great talent lost to drugs... Can't be the best without, some heart & soul thing will be missing. BUT, it's not the key to the success though.
Ginseng Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 A tragedy, unfortunate, and a loss for music. RIP. Wilkey
thechenman Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 RIP...Truly sad and a tragic loss, but I think pretty much everyone saw this coming.
anacostiakat Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Yea this is very sad. She should have gone to rehab. . . RIP
Diamondog Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Yea this is very sad. She should have gone to rehab. . . RIP Apparently she had just left...
ZAZ Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Apparently she had just left... Did she complete treatment?
mazolaman Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 It's that number 27 again. Never her biggest fan,but as a musician,I could appreciate her raw talent,her ability to just sing in such a heartfelt way. A talent gone.
laficion Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse or Amy & Janis ? Ciao l'artiste.
Diamondog Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Did she complete treatment? http://www.music-news.com/shownews.asp?nItemID=41756
bolivr Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Absolute shame she is gone. I was just listening to Back to Black in the past week too. We are all the poorer for a talent silenced like this, RIP Amy.
rock Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Artists and Musicians some of the dumbest and most arrogant people on the face of the earth. They think that natural laws don't apply to them. That they can snort a kilo and everything will be OK because they are famous. Live and learn or die trying.
cigcars Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Oh, my Holy God! Heartbreakingly tragic. And as said earlier, it's because they're given the world and privaledge, figure they don't have to answer to anybody or be responsible. It really makes you appreciate when you get to the age you do survive to due to the job parents and parts of society did in raising you, disciplining you - depriving you of goodies, putting you on punishment...and finally you can realize THEY kept you alive.
olotti Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Lest we not forget that a mother and father lost their child regardless of how it happened. It's saddening that drugs and addiction can kill and lets not forget that their is alot of greif in the Whinehouse household right now. Prayers to her family.
LeafLover Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 So sad. No matter what her problems she had as an adult, she was someone's baby daughter, someone's best friend, someone's favorite. Godspeed.
dB69 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Just some thoughts: We are sad that she didn't reach the average age. By living the average life she possibly would have done that. If she had lived an average life she would have not made top quality songs. Would have we heard about her then? Would have we known if she had died at the age of 75 after an average life? Do we smoke cigars? Does it shorten our lives? We have made our choices. She did also. I challenge everyone to smoke an average cigar today and think about is it what we want. Btw, Idols-stuff sucks! (I hope you got my point )
