Amy Winehouse Is Dead

[Duncan]

Its being reported that Amy Winehouse is dead. I don't think I ever listened to any of her stuff but still too bad, rehab could have been an option

It's sad, but not unexpected.

Hopefully her experiences and her early death will help someone else see the harm that can come from using drugs.

I'm very sad to hear about this, but I'm not surprised. Her lifestyle destroyed her. I don't care what anyone says about her, though—she was a very talented individual, and I'm sad to see such a gifted musician go at such a young age.

She was 27, my word that is awful. But yeah I hope her death sends a signal to people that use drugs that they are in control of you. I hope Lindsay Lohan gets the message and she gets help. Its so crazy!

It isn't a surprise at all. I liked her voice, but she was so messed up. I also hope others will see it and clean up rather than follow in her footsteps.

While I dont know this person at all, I have read a little regarding her situation before death. I takes a lot of courage to do the right thing in the face of so much that may be lost. In this case, it would seem that she knew she had a big problem, but just refused to go to rehab - she even wrote a song about it. But there is something in this that everyone can learn. Would we do the right thing, if we knew it was the right thing? Even in a situation where the people surrounding us and supporting us didnt agree?

Something kind of interesting Amy WInehouse, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin all died at age 27. Former Rolling Stones Brian Jones died when he was just 28-something like that

What a waste of a beautiful person to the ravages of drug addiction.

Addiction eats the young for lunch. It would seem the older we get, we can think our way our of situations like this. I suppose inteligence and wisdom, even when addicted, play a key role in overcoming the addiction.
