Quote:LONDON — Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, was found dead Saturday in her London home, police said. She was 27.
Winehouse shot to fame with the album "Back to Black," whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos one of music's most recognizable stars.
Police confirmed that a 27-year-old female was pronounced dead at the home in Camden Square northern London; the cause of death was not immediately known. London Ambulance Services said Winehouse had died before the two ambulance crews it sent arrived at the scene.

I have to say she will be greatly missed.

true, but I didn't bother to look up an article that had that detail.
Not to come off as a dick but judging by her past history with things like avoiding rehab and stuff like that kind of makes me think she got what was coming to her, which is kind of sad too because there are so many celebrities that have died because of drugs.

Justifying a death because they had a drug problem is definitely coming off as a dick, js.

I was just about to comment on how people couldn't give less of a fuck about Norway (seriously, that shit was awful, and the fact that people are making jokes about it immediately after it happened is just disgusting) and yet everyone's flipping out over Amy Winehouse.
