Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London. The Back To Black singer was found at the property by emergency services at 3.54pm, and it's believed Winehouse's death was due to a suspected drug overdose. Winehouse was apparently 'beyond help' when paramedics arrived, according to Sky sources. Sources have also claimed Winehouse's death was due to a drug overdose. [daily mail/uk]
No, it's not a surprise, of course. Just a damn shame. More proof, as if we needed any, why drugs suck. For such a young artist, she had a remarkable skill. Taking today's language and topics and blending them with a wall-of-sound '60s vibe -- creating a throwback feel that was truly modern. No one sounded like Amy; no one will.
For all her faults, and we know them well, it cannot be overstated what an amazing talent she was -- and what a terrible loss her untimely death is.
