Amy Winehouse Dead



Amy Winehouse has died. The death has been confirmed on news desks for national newspapers and people on Twitter report seeing ambulances and police outside her house but as yet no statement has been made or cause of death announced, but there are strong rumours that this was the resulyt of a drugs overdose.

This is tragic. Updates as soon as they happen.

EDIT - Being reported on BBC News and Sky News now.  She was found just before 4pm today, in her flat.  Poor, poor girl.  RIP.

BRIDE OF EDIT - No updates, other than background on BBC News.  Guess there won't be anymore details released until it is "officially" confirmed by police etc.  Her Dad is in NYC, apparently, but on his way home.

CHILD OF THE BRIDE OF THE EDIT - Monte and Avery Lipman, President and CEO, Co-President of Universal Republic Records, respectively, said this in a statement to JustJared.com: “We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer. Our prayers go out to Amy’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time.”

sigh :( so terrible
and so terrible that we could all see it coming
noodledays 23rd-Jul-2011 04:44 pm (UTC)
if it ends up confirmed, I definitely agree.
mondler_4ever 23rd-Jul-2011 04:48 pm (UTC)
CNN just confirmed.
boe_moi 23rd-Jul-2011 04:49 pm (UTC)
I hoped it wouldn't end like this, but yeah... RIP :C
senorita__ 23rd-Jul-2011 04:57 pm (UTC)
Especially after that video was posted not too long ago of her performing and she was sooo messed up :( it's so sad, RIP
forgethissmile 23rd-Jul-2011 05:06 pm (UTC)
I remember in 2009, everyone wondering if she'd even last the rest of the year.

In a sense, she outlasted our expectations.
xtoki_dokix 23rd-Jul-2011 05:22 pm (UTC)
Agreed. I always thought she would die young, but I never thought it would be THIS young you know? It's crazy.
claudia_yvr 23rd-Jul-2011 05:27 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I doubt anyone is surprised by the news :-(

I hope she's finally at peace now. RIP, Amy.
sweet_shaleen 23rd-Jul-2011 06:09 pm (UTC)
I was in shock but it's not that surprising the way she was going.
nastyposition 23rd-Jul-2011 06:18 pm (UTC)
yah but this was an overdose, no? nothing to do with her problems.... ?
xylocarp 23rd-Jul-2011 07:17 pm (UTC)
it's like in The Virgin Suicides when everyone could see there was a problem, but didn't know how to help so they just sat and watched in silence.
kwikimart 23rd-Jul-2011 11:31 pm (UTC)
I didn't. If Britney Spears got better then why couldn't Amy? I'm so pissed off and upset.
wildreeds23 23rd-Jul-2011 04:43 pm (UTC)

iprevail 23rd-Jul-2011 05:07 pm (UTC)
YES. MY FIRST REACTION WAS YELLING "WHAT!"
fruityphobia 23rd-Jul-2011 05:16 pm (UTC)
God, mine too. D:
lace_fishnets 23rd-Jul-2011 05:33 pm (UTC)
Yeah I saw the TMZ link on FB, and I felt my eyes get really big. It's not surprising, per se, but IDK. I was really looking forward to her new album I heard she was working on.
theconsortiumxf 23rd-Jul-2011 05:40 pm (UTC)
SAME - I was on the phone coordinating buying U2 tix for tonight and screamed in her ear. Then I told her, and she did the same.
anniemann101 23rd-Jul-2011 05:41 pm (UTC)
WHO'S WASN'T?
glass_houses 23rd-Jul-2011 05:59 pm (UTC)
Mine was "No, no, no." And good lord that was not a pun.
xstellargrl 23rd-Jul-2011 05:12 pm (UTC)
I thought/hoped I had read it wrong.

Gah...I was pulling for a recovery!
crazy_clockwork 23rd-Jul-2011 05:15 pm (UTC)
My first reaction, too...
vanillasalt 23rd-Jul-2011 05:19 pm (UTC)
this was my first reaction too :(
luckycherry_13 23rd-Jul-2011 06:24 pm (UTC)
This^ My mom called me with the news and this is what I yelled.

Not surprising, but sad nonetheless.
glowing_dragon 23rd-Jul-2011 08:05 pm (UTC)
My first reaction: "WHAT THE FUCK?! ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE 27 CLUB?! SHIT! NO!"
prettysighs 23rd-Jul-2011 04:43 pm (UTC)
:'( rest in peace.

grammaire 23rd-Jul-2011 04:44 pm (UTC)
I'm honestly in shock right now. I know she was very ill but for some reason I thought she'd be able to make it through. I can't believe it.
acidillusion 23rd-Jul-2011 04:46 pm (UTC)
i'm the same. i never thought i'd see the day she was found dead. i was wishing she could recover.
thebigquiet 23rd-Jul-2011 04:48 pm (UTC)
I feel the same way.

I always hoped she would be able to get the help she needed.
noodledays 23rd-Jul-2011 04:48 pm (UTC)
she didn't seem truly motivated to recover, just from when I've read.
ellie_andrews 23rd-Jul-2011 04:49 pm (UTC)
Same.
bluesforgotten 23rd-Jul-2011 04:50 pm (UTC)
Honestly, I always expected her to go the way of Keith Richards - somehow making it to old age despite the addictions, etc.
emesieremonde 23rd-Jul-2011 05:03 pm (UTC)
this exactly what I just said out loud

OMG I can't even.... JFC!
my_drama_only 23rd-Jul-2011 04:43 pm (UTC)
Ummmmm...wtf...??
chihaya19 23rd-Jul-2011 04:43 pm (UTC)
from TMZ:

According to the Daily Mirror, she was found dead in her Camden Square apartment at 4:05 PM.

So far, it is not known how she died.

THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WHEN I READ HER AGE

IT LIVES ON
screwhim 23rd-Jul-2011 04:54 pm (UTC)
Man. It's been a while too.
God this is just so sad.
hiphophooray 23rd-Jul-2011 04:54 pm (UTC)
yup
threeatatimejay 23rd-Jul-2011 04:55 pm (UTC)
That was my second thought (my first being denial that it was true), and DAMN.

:/

I even checked the Wiki (for the "27 Club") and saw they updated it to include her and that's when I knew for certain she was dead.
sashwizzled 23rd-Jul-2011 04:58 pm (UTC)
HOLY FUCK

I'm more freaked out by THAT than by her actually dying. Like, I'm not really surprised this has happened - saddened, but not surprised - but the 27 Club is freaky, man.
ilikeandrewbird 23rd-Jul-2011 04:58 pm (UTC)
you realize everyone who died when they were 27 was either a hardcore drug addict or committed suicide, right? it's not a fluke..
therealycats 23rd-Jul-2011 05:03 pm (UTC)
Just posted this on FB. :(
minyquai 23rd-Jul-2011 05:04 pm (UTC)
omg i was just looking up her age to see if she was a member now

holy cow...

It's freaky
claudia_yvr 23rd-Jul-2011 05:31 pm (UTC)
She looked so much older that I didn't realize she was still young enough join :-(
anniemann101 23rd-Jul-2011 05:43 pm (UTC)
:(
bgwqlc 23rd-Jul-2011 05:44 pm (UTC)
I have two months until I am 28 so shit like this always freaks me out.
helenrdemeter 23rd-Jul-2011 05:47 pm (UTC)
I checked the BBC link that forbidden_john gave and the words I first saw were these:

AMY WINEHOUSE FOUNDE DEAD, AGED 27

Since I didn't know her age before, I literally yelled, 'FUCK!'

Just, oh God.
kathrynfan 23rd-Jul-2011 05:50 pm (UTC)
they keep saying on the radio, that she is now in The 27 club :(

Yeah, my first reaction.
x_ce_rce_au_x 23rd-Jul-2011 08:25 pm (UTC)
my friend got a text from someone saying she passed away and the first thing I said was "DON'T TELL ME SHE WAS 27" sooo crazy
akasha6915 23rd-Jul-2011 08:27 pm (UTC)
My first thought too, and I feel she was just as great as many of those who are there. i just wish she could of out more and done more. Sad day for music.
adorkibul 23rd-Jul-2011 04:43 pm (UTC)
Oh shit.

A couple people have tweeted how they are shocked...I mean, this is very very sad and I feel for addicts and their families, but shocking?
almalthia 23rd-Jul-2011 05:00 pm (UTC)
MTE .. everyone saw it coming, it was just a matter of when.
anchors_oceans 23rd-Jul-2011 05:03 pm (UTC)
i'm only shocked because i kind of had hope that she would be able to come out of it. a part of me always knew she was too far gone but i didn't want to entirely believe it.
laurens_bonanza 23rd-Jul-2011 05:08 pm (UTC)
I was shocked but not surprised, if that makes sense. I think people knew it was coming at some point but you have the moment of shock when the headline pops up.
jrh19782002 23rd-Jul-2011 05:11 pm (UTC)
i mean if you have come on ontd for the last few years we all knew how fucked up she was so its not that shocking that she died.
robotpotatoes 23rd-Jul-2011 05:16 pm (UTC)
i am beyond shocked, compared to the LAST post of Amy from ONTD to this one... there is a huge difference.
acidillusion 23rd-Jul-2011 04:48 pm (UTC)
it's surprising to me. call me naive, but i was dreaming about the day she'd recover.
yougottabelieve 23rd-Jul-2011 04:53 pm (UTC)
exactly this. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later :(
frenchverbs 23rd-Jul-2011 04:58 pm (UTC)
I actually thought she'd be dead by the beginning of this year. so, yeah, not surprising. Sad and tragic, but I think we all saw this coming.
ilikeandrewbird 23rd-Jul-2011 05:00 pm (UTC)
I'm honestly surprised that she lived this long.

She was a walking miracle for a few years now. But I still always rooted for her. It's such a shame.
honeyoil 23rd-Jul-2011 05:01 pm (UTC)
yeah :/
sarahmarie 23rd-Jul-2011 05:38 pm (UTC)
yup
scornedsaint 23rd-Jul-2011 05:52 pm (UTC)
After those videos of her performing from a month or two ago, I had a feeling this was inevitable.
