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.

in an ironic twist it's rumored that she died from drinking too much wine in her house

no, that was horrible, but she did have a well known substance abuse problem, drugs, booze, it's too bad that she wasted what could have been a distinguished musical career by abusing her body as much as she possibly could.

I heard them talk about some 27 club of famous dead celebrities. That was weird. Although not too surprising.

I'm sure she was on that celebrity death watch list they talk about from time to time.

Now that she's dead, I will finally listen to some of her works.

"Amy Winehouse": no such file or directory.

Yep,

When i heard about it my first thought was, what took so long ?
Her heroin and other drug use was no secret.

Winehouse's battles with substance abuse were the subject of much media attention. In various interviews,
she admitted to having problems with self-harm, depression and eating disorders In 2005, she went through
a period of drinking, heavy drug use, violent mood swings and weight loss People who saw her during the
end of that year and early 2006 reported a rebound that coincided with the writing of Back to Black.
Her family believes that the mid-2006 death of her grandmother, who was a stabilising influence, set her
off into addiction.
In August 2007, Winehouse cancelled a number of shows in the UK and Europe, citing exhaustion and ill health.
She was hospitalised during this period for what was reported as an overdose of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine,
ketamine and alcohol.
