I'm not a fan of her music, but sure he had a great voice.
It really shocked me, I knew her condition was deteriorating too fast (Apart from the addiction, she had emphysema), it's sad, she entered to the 27 years club with people like: - Jim Morrison
- Janis Joplin
- Jimmy Hendrix
- Curt Cobain (Nirvana)
- Brian Jones (Rolling Stones)
- Ron Mc'Kernan (Grateful Dead)
- Helmut Kollen (Triumvirat)
- Gary Thain (Uriah Heep)
- Alan Wilson (Canned Heat)
- Pete Ham (Bad Finger
- Shanon Hoon (Blind Melon)
- Steven Gaines (Lynyrd Skyynyrd)
- Kristen Pfaff (Hole)
- Les Harvey (Stone the Crows)
- Robert Johnson (Blues musician who started the tragic list in 1938)
Among many more.
Rest in Peace Amy.
Iván

Sorry to say it, but I can't argue with this at all. Extremely sad waste of a young talent, no matter how much I disliked her music. |
I wasn't a fan either, but I respected her musical talent. So sad she left so early. RIP

currently watching on TV a performance of hers during Eurockéennes in 2007 : great voice and excellent music (ska, reggae, doo wop, soul, gospel), but three glasses of whisky within half an hour

Spooky. |
Maybe 27 is an individuals most reckless age in terms of risk, still young enough to think you are immortal and the liver just rebounds too well for some individuals to take any notice.....Spooky for sure though.

It is sad indeed that she never found hapiness and that we will never get another album like this^ which was truly brilliant.

Another victim of the music industry in my book.
Didn't much like her as an artist, but always sad to see someone climb onboard the rush express to self destruction. And she had talent, there's no denying that. A tragedy for her, for her friends, family and fans.

Tragic loss of a young talented person. She was different and the world needs different not same.

I'm surprised it took her this long to do herself in.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

A tragic loss. Hope she finds the peace she didn't seem to find living in this world.

Whoaa that was a shocking thing to read. I've never actually heard a song from her but of course know about her drug problems etc. Tragic news to say the least.
