Amy Whinehouse RIP

[MarcLister]

RIP Amy. I've only ever heard a few seconds of her music but for her talent to have been wasted and for her to have declined in this way leading to her death, which may or may not be drink/drug related, is a sad thing for such a special telent.

Yep. When I saw this on the BBC News site I was shocked but not surprised. The way she changed from first becoming famous to her appearance after developing her drink and drug problems was quite alarming. I'm shocked about her manager/dealer though.

When I saw that she was 27 I immediately thought of this 'club'.

Amen. Those people will probably still make money from the inevitable surge in sales of her albums. Hope they all get named and shamed.
