At the age of 27, British artist Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London home. No cause of death has been released but many believe that it must've had something to do with her alcohol problem. Two London ambulance crews that responded to the call said she was dead by the time they even arrived to the scene at 4:05 pm. "Its just beyond sad, there's nothing else to say. She was such a lost soul, may she rest in peace," British singer Lilly Allen wrote.
Winehouse has received many awards throughout her music career such as, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best New Artist, Song of the Year (Rehab) and Record of the Year in 2008 at the Los Angeles Grammy Awards. Having that also names Winehouse the first British female artist to win 5 grammys in one night. Her debut album "Back to Black" had sold over 5 million copies on its release in 2006.
In my opinion, Winehouse had one of the best R&B voices ever. "I didn't go out looking to be famous" Winehouse told reporters when her album "Back to Black" was released, "I am just a musician". After getting booed off stage in Serbia on June 18, Winehouse canceled the rest of her European tour to focus on recovery from her addiction. She left her rehab earlier this month a week after checking herself in. Winehouse was a troubled women with a wonderful talent and a very beautiful voice. It is just so sad to see her go. Amy Winehouse will always be remembered and will always continue to be played in my headphones.
