Sadly, the music business has been struck with another untimely death. We are still mourning the murder of Facundo Cabral and now news has broken that Amy Winehouse was found lifeless in her London apartment today.
London's Metropolitan Police received a call asking help for a woman. Paramedics were called to the apartment, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death is still unknown but not suspicious, according to police.
She died a month after she was forced to cancel her comeback European tour. Sadly, she had been booed during her last concert, in Serbia, due to her erratic behavior.
The 27-year-old R & B crooner shot to stardom back in 2006 with her smash "Rehab" single and the critically-acclaimed Back To Black album. Selling over five million units and winning five Grammy Awards, it put Winehouse on the map and brought her destructive lifestyle to the public eye.
Anyone who's followed Amy's career knows that she struggled with drugs and alcohol. And though her official cause of death has yet to be released, many are speculating that it's related to an overdose. The Sunday Mirror quoted sources saying that an overdose of drink and drugs killed her.
One of the saddest things about Winehouse's death is the unfulfilled promise of her musical abilities. She hadn’t released an album in five years, which leaves only two major LPs to her credit. There have been reports that Amy has quite a few tracks in the vaults, so hopefully we can hear that gorgeous soulful voice at least one more time before all is said and done.
