Amy Winehouse RIP

[pdogg]

27 years old, talented but troubled.

[pdogg]

The singer's tragic death at the age of 27 puts her in a pantheon of famous musicians who have all died at the same age.

Amy follows now joins the notorious 27 Club, also known as Forever 27, which is a group of musicians who have all died at the age while struggling to cope with fame.

Club members: Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison are among those who died at the age of 27.

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was the most recent victim and in 1994, pumped with heroin and valium, he turned a gun on himself.

Decades earlier Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones all died at 27.

Rolling Stone Jones drowned in a swimming pool in 1969; Hendrix choked to death in 1970 after mixing wine with sleeping pills and singer Janis Joplin suffered a suspected heroin overdose the same year.

Doors star Morrison died of heart failure in 1971.

27 years old, talented but troubled.

As mad as a box of frogs is perhaps a better way to describe her.

I liked her a lot. She had some personal issues, but it seems to often go with the territory. Far be it for me to judge her. RIP Amy <3

She joins the #27 Club too, which I'm sure will lead to some people speculating about her death.

SHE SHOULDA gone to rehab,yesyesyes.........another addiction roadkill by the look of it.

I am listening to two of Her albums now, Amy Winehouse & Back to Black, such a great talent, really sad news, I followed Her Singing career since She started out and really enjoyed Her soulfull voice.

[Flatpack]

She was an amazing talent, so different from the norm but she lived life on the edge.

No doubt her ashes will have a street value of £500,000

let's hope she will be remembered as an example not to follow.

[Lefty]

She was always a tortured soul. If you have sound mental health, you take it for granted. Some people don't and don't know how to hold things together. Easy for others with strong legs to look at someone with weak scrawny legs and say, "Why can't you run fast?" She wanted to be happy and healthy but couldn't manage it, for whatever reasons. Just be happy you can. Don't blame her. Tom Brady doesn't blame unemployed actors for not being rich athletes.

Her family thinks she may have died from alcohol withdrawal.

Watched the film "Amy" on the plane recently..........personally find it hard to comment on it without getting angry, just wished she would have sometimes been left alone .............still "gutted" she is no longer with us,

[Tomcat]

Kieth Moon , crikey , his number was up the moment he left the womb..... Aryton Senna..nope---- and so on

[Pdoggg]

Was just showing the video of her singing Hey Little Rich Girl to my teerak; wasn't sure if she would know her. But my teerak said, "she die already but she sing song good.".

[SiamSam]

And your teerak would be absolutely correct. 

[duke007]

I really liked this version of Heard it through the Grapevine with her, Paul Weller and Jools and his Band

 

What a Talent, What a Voice and thankyou so much for what you gave us all in your very short life

 

God Bless You Amy 

 

[duke007]

Even sometimes drunk on Stage...the SongBird pulled through  ......thought her Band were brilliant too, fantastic musicians 

 

[Jimslim]

Watched the film "Amy" on the plane recently.......

 

Me too pretty harrowing it was too ...tragic .

 

Her husband came across as a right bag of shite with the sort of face you wouldn't tire of punching , her family were little help either .

[duke007]

For those in the UK the film AMY will be broadcast tonight at 9pm on Channel 4

[duke007]

Ladyboys are mentioned in this interview Amy did on the Jonathan Woss show when she was a 20 year old kid, he obviously does not know what he is missing 

 

 

and here is the song she calls her b/f a ladyboy

 

[duke007]

I can't believe its 5 years tomorrow since Amy left us, still sorely missed by many of us

R.I.P  Princess    

 

I don't ever want to drink again
I just, oh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

And it's not just my pride
It's just till these tears have dried

 

 

I shall be going on a day drip to Camden Town tomorrow, will visit Amy's statue in Camden Market plus and have a few beers in the Hawley Arms (her favourite Pub) to toast her, I will hopefully post some pics of my visit soon
