The phrase R.I.P. seems especially apt in this instance, since she apparently never had any peace in life. Perhaps she'll find it now. I was really, really pulling for her to come out of all this and make it back again. It wasn't to be. Tremendously upsetting news.
Very very sad news,came as a real shock but it shouldn't have given her lifestyle. Another one for the 27 club - Johnson,Jones,Hendrix,Morrison,Joplin,Cobain,Winehouse...
Sad sad news, but not too surprising. Oddly my wife and me was talking about her some days ago while I was listening to “Back in Black” for the 2006 poll (by the way, the album is now comfortably sitting at the top of my list and I doubt that any discover during the next month could dethrone it). My opinion during that conversation was that, apart from a drug habit and a fragile psyche, one of her problems (and not one of the less serious) could be a creative block, an excessive pressure to deliver a worthy follow-up to the acclaimed “Back to Black”. Now you all know what comes now, a flood of posthumous releases that probably Amy would not have approved. R.I.P., Amy.
True, not a surprise, but still sad. Back to Black is a gem. RIP, Amy, and hopefully now she finds peace that eluded her during her brief time on Earth.
