Amy Whinehouse war eine der wenigen eigenständigen und ernst zu nehmenden Künstlerinnen unserer Zeit.
Amy galt als eines der größten Talente ihrer Generation. Ihre Drogenprobleme bekam sie aber nicht in den Griff. Am Samstag ist die Soul-Sängerin im Alter von nur 27 Jahren in ihrer Wohnung in London verstorben. Über die Todesursache wurden noch keine offiziellen Angaben gemacht. Die fünffache Grammy-Gewinnerin hatte während ihrer Karriere wiederholt mit Alkohol- und Drogenproblemen zu kämpfen. Ende Juni hatte sie alle Konzerte ihrer für den Sommer geplanten Comeback-Tournee in Europa absagen müssen, nachdem sie bei ersten Auftritte völlig die Fassung verlor und neben sich stand.

R.I.P. Amy



Ted Nugent: "B sure to tell ur children that Amy Winehouse suicide is insane stupid"

Brian Fair (SHADOWS FALL): "Heard Amy Winehouse died today. I once ran into her in a hotel lobby in London. It was 7am. I was heading out to the airport she was just coming in like a trainwreck. She grabbed my hair and was like 'I fuckin love ur hair.' With spittle flying. I thought she was a homeless person. I brushed her off and went and washed my hair. RIP."

Myles Kennedy (ALTER BRIDGE, SLASH): "It's just my opinion but Amy Winehouse was a very rare talent. So many songs left unsung. Heartbreaking news."

Rikki Rockett (POISON): "Amy Winehouse - So sad. Condolences to her closest friends and family. Fame does not give you happiness. It's a shame Amy couldn't see the part that surpasses that. The part that she earned and that no tabloid could mar or any critic could ever take away."
