Sad, perhaps a 'car crash' that was inevitable, but such a waste at 27. There really should have been someone around her who could have tried to steer her to better life.

Incredibly sad. Just a poor young girl who went down the wrong road and couldn't turn round.

Jamie,

She made some great music.

FROM the age of 16.

11 years of Fame killed her.

Her dad wrote her AB  years ago,

What father does that and tells the world?

 

Drugs and drink are a hard place to come back from.

Its just a  fookin shame to see another great talent go so young.

I started a thread a couple of weeks ago on here.

Her band went on stage and were playing when she came on.???

Fook it,I WOULD OF SAID AMY NO.

I WOULD OF NOT GOT GOT BEHINND MY DRUM KIT,

WHY DID ANY OF HER BAND GO ON STAGE THAT NIGHT???

She needed help,They knew it.

No  one.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I guess the this year's gigs were booked to try and get her back into playing live, and being in front of an audience that loved her, to affirm her worth, to herself more than anything else.

 

From what I have read the last few days it would seem that people around her were really trying to do their best, but she was just beyond that help.

So very, very sad, tragic, and shameful.  Shame on those who enabled her . . .

Another great, beautiful talent gone.  RIP Amy Whinehouse . . . Thank you for your beautiful spirit and great music!
