Amy Winehouse.RIP

Sad to say ... it was not unexpected...
May she rest in peace. And, may her family be granted peace and comfort, now and throughout the rest of their lives...
Best to reserve judgment to oneself...People close to her all speak of her highly, we only saw the worst of her. Addiction is like drinking from a well and falling in. For the rich and famous, the mouth of the well is huge and the edge is slippery...dismissing her as just another no talent junky is just wrong...so much animus toward this artist says more about the scourging effect of tabloid media than anything else.

Props to Trelja, Blkadr, Dgarretson. Nice to see that the community has steered this thread back to the high road.

I am going to pay my respects with some flowers...She lived just a stones throw away from my family.

Thanks, Gawdbless. Add a bunch from the 'goners across the pond (& pm me if you'd like some help defraying costs.

Trej, you cant be serious and if you are I am glad we are likely to never meet because to blame those two men or even bring them up as some sort of connection shows your in need of serious mental help. I can only pray when you snap you dont hurt anyone.
There is a difference between the helpless and clueless, its not a shame to battle addiction, it is to celebrate it like some badge of honor and if you cant wrap your head around that, oh wait your too busy putting the blame on FOX news so how could I be so stupid to think you can?
I wish you well in your recovery. Cheers

Flowers already delivered.
The tv were interviewing her backing singers, and they are devastated that she has past away. They could not be of more praise for Amy and were in tears and they say there is not a nicer person you could meet(are you reading chaznliz?). There was no airs and graces about her, she actively encouraged them to take centre stage and treated them as the equals that they were.

The end of a personal relationship can have (as in this instance) have disastrous effects on ones mental health,
and can cause us to act irrationally, unless of course you are, the righteous and utterly divine chadnliz!LOL

Thank you for the update Godbless, and for giving us all a first hand account of the love felt towards her and by her, it tilts the balance away from superficial speculation, a good thing.

Paid backing singers saying great things about the boss on TV while obviously looking for a job? SHOCKING!
