RIP. :cry:
Shocking!
The article seems to be misdated but it's seems legit since Google News is flooded with death report.

Not only misdated but she didn't even die in that article
QuoteAmy Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil has described how he feared his wife was dying in his arms after a three-day drug binge.

Yeah, that's a crap article, for sure. Even has a sub-headline quote that's not in the article. Shades of National Inquirer!
Oh, so everyone gets to post articles they don't read, but me. :mad:
What is the proper way to respond to this thread? I never listened to her music, and only knew of her because of her horrible health caused by drug problems. So I only really knew of her as "That chick with the funny hair who is going to die soon". What would the proper post in a thread like this? I really don't know, and don't want to sound callous. This is for future reference, of course I probably already sound like an asshole. So how could not sound like an asshole and still make a meaningful post in a thread like this in the future?
Strange.
True, she always seemed a celebrity death waiting to happen.
But that she has always been that way and endured makes it odd it has finally happened.
Strange she lasted this long really.
A druggie trainwreck or not, she created some good music. RIP. :(
This is about as unexpected as Ricky Martin's coming out of the closet.
Should have stuck with the rehab. <_<

Rather than saying "no, no, no."
RIP :(
Oh, she was only 27? Another one for the club then.
I wonder if her fame killed her, or whether she would have just died young in anonymous circumstances had she not become famous :hmm: ?

Yup, but I remember thinking in 2007, "this chick will be dead in 5 years"; so I was close.

I'm thinking the fame contributed, but she was mega-fucked-up anyway, so i think she was going to die young of alcohol poisoning no matter what.
Blacked out from drinking too much three times a week? That's some heavy shit, and she was surrounded by enablers from a young age.

Many people with fame and wealth that early get latched onto by a more than a few creeps.

We should have a Languish Dead Pool sometime
Interestingly, in the last Daily Mail article, nine days ago, about her before her death, there was this message posted at it's end.

And the subject of that last article, she'd gone for a walk near her Camden flat; 'UK tabloid press' is a synonym for intrusion.

"Sad, but not surprising" would be a reasonable but not too snarky response.

Yeah, "Woman takes a walk" is a pretty lame headline, but about the level of what you expect from tabloid journalism.
RIP. I hope there are drugs in heaven.
First in with the "too soon" joke.
Most parents agree it's OK to give your kid a little smack. Mitch Winehouse took it a bit too far.
RIP
Not unexpected. Pretty sad though, Back To Black is an amazing record.
RIP Amy :(
Another washed up, drug-addled person off the streets. Success for society.

Too bad. She's was doable in her early career days.

Color me unsurprised, but yeah it kinda put a downer on my trip this weekend. :(

He's not exactly the most masculine fellow around.
Sad to see her go.
And via her funeral I just learned she was Jewish.
Who knew?
Perfect example of British Jewry really. So integrated you don't even notice them.

Seriously? She's so typically North London Jewish, I'm amazed the coroner didn't find "JP" through her like a stick of rock. I spent much of my youth avoiding girls like her. I mean, have you seen her nose sideways on?
Edit: Just adding I didn't avoid them due to anti-Semitism, but because they were stuck-up anorexic daddy's girls who dominated every am-dram group and music school.
Come on, guys. This is Jos were talking about.
I never spot them either, unless they make it really easy by being orthodox :D

Iranian, Greek, Cypriot, Turkish.
Yes, I thought she was some levantine mix, not that I devoted much thought to it.
Leave Amy alone!
Everyone who cared about her knew that she was Jewish. You fucking vultures who only get interested when she's dead can go to hell.
