[Remembering the good times: Amy at Coachella 2007]

Amy Winehouse has been found dead. The BBC reports that an ambulance was called to her North London home on Saturday July 23 at 3.54 PM GMT. The London Metropolitan Police said in a statement that she was pronounced dead at the scene. The singer had had a much publicized battle with drugs, though at this stage her death is officially being treated as “unexplained.” She was just 27.

So sad.

She always reminded me of Janis Joplin, an enormously talented woman bent on self destruction.

I hope she went peacefully. Her liver probably just gave out. I know she was warned a month or two ago that she was going to die by her doctors. RIP Amy.

Joplin was hardly bend on self destruction. Even her death is blamed on a case of mistaken potency of the drugs she used.

This quote from Amy's mother from an interview back in 2008 is just tragic:

'I've known for a long time that my daughter has problems...I realise my daughter could be dead within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly.

'I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road.

'I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She's on their path. It's like watching a car crash - this person throwing all these gifts away.'
