Amy Winehouse Dead At Age 27. No, No, No!

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, singer Amy Winehouse has joined the land of the dead; sadly following in the footsteps of so many other uber-talented 27-year-old performers.

While her death comes suddenly, it’s of no real surprise.

Amy Winehouse was overflowing with talent, and again, like those before her, simply couldn’t handle it all. And then the drugs got her.

“Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.

On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.”

“I can’t even breath right my now. I’m crying so hard,” [Kelly] Osbourne, 26, tweeted. “I just lost one of my best friends. I love you forever Amy and will never forget the real you!”

When one Twitter user accused Osbourne of not doing enough to help Winehouse overcome her addiction issues, the E! personality fired back: “Are you f***ing kidding me? You have no idea what you are talking about! It would be in your best interest to shut the f*** up!”

And songstress Kelly Clarkson took the time to write a particularly poignant message:

“I heard the news about Amy Winehouse. I’m incredibly sad. I didn’t know her but I met her a few times and got to hear her sing before she blew up. She was a beautiful and talented girl. I’m angry. What a waste of a gifted person. What a shame she saw no hope and continued living her life in that manor. I have been that low emotionally and mentally and that is overwhelming. I keep asking myself why some of us are spared and the others are made examples. I’m very angry and sad. I don’t know why it’s bothering me so much. Sometimes I think this job will be the death of us all, or at least the emotional death of us all. Maybe that is why as a little kid in sunday school I learned that God didn’t want false gods or idols. I thought it was terribly selfish of God as a child but I think I get it now. He didn’t want us following people or things that are imperfect and not so much for the followers but for the gods and/or idols who will never be what everyone wishes or needs them to be because we are made imperfect. He knew we wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure, the shame, the glory, or the power the spotlight brings. I am distraught. I am also extremely grateful and thankful for the people who love me and support me. Without such amazing friends and family who knows where I’d be. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for peace in your hearts.”
