Amy Winehouse, 27, found dead at her London flat

Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported.

The Back To Black singer was apparently found at 4pm and her death is believed to be unexplained.

Winehouse had been seen with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier this week as the teenager took to the stage at the iTunes festival

Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Just saw the headline on AOL news.

What a shame.  :(

She joins the "27 Club" -- the list of famous rock musicians who died at age 27. They include Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones and Kurt Cobain.

The Wikipedia entry also lists bluesman Robert Johnson and a lot of lesser-known musicians who died at that same age.

Kurt Cobain, who of course committed suicide, apparently used to talk when he was a kid about joining the club.

Very sad but not particularly surprising when you think about it

Feel sorry for her Dad, he's quite well known in the UK for being a a happy chappy taxi driver and loving his kid despite her problems and doing her best to get her off the drugs..

Hope Amy Winehouse's goddaughter takes over her crown.. another beautiful voice.

My daughter was talking about the 27 club earlier today.  She's mentioned it in the past, as she is a big fan of all those talents who were taken from us much too young. 

Poor Amy!  She was so gifted!  I first learned of her passing while driving and listening to her "cover" of Grover Washington Jr's "Mr. Magic" on the radio.  Then the DJ announced that she was found dead this morning!  Sad news.  My Maria is really hurt!  She is a fan, as am I!

Guess we should have seen this coming, but it's still sad, sad news to see someone with so much untapped genius die at such an incredibly young age.  I wonder what she thought it would accomplish, and who would mourn the most.  Very sad...

I don't think she knew what she was doing.. it will have just been one more hit of a drug for her.. but this time the russian roulette she played with drugs hit the bullet chamber.

Sad  :-\

Have they actually come out and say it was the drugs?

It's a logical assumption I guess, but didn't she also have other issues?  I remember reading something about emphysema and anorexia.
