Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, has been found dead at her home, the Press Association has reported.

Last month, the north Londoner pulled out of her European tour after she was jeered at her comeback gig in Serbia for appearing too drunk to perform.

For 90 minutes, she mumbled through parts of songs and at times left the stage - leaving her band to fill in.

The troubled singer had a long battle with drink and drugs which overshadowed her musical career in recent years.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that a 27-year-old woman had died in Camden and that the cause of death was as yet unexplained.

London Ambulance Service had been called to the flat at 1554 BST and sent two ambulances but the woman died, it said.

I think they should release pics of Amy Winehouse dead (if her family agree) as a warning to all teenagers about the dangers of drugs.

very true, we all say we hate heads, and bagheads, i do anyway, just because she is in the lime light, people looked up to her

ye let's put pics up anyway, leave the body for 24 hrs or so and take pics of where the body was

sickipedia site has had a meltdown

Well everyone knew it was just a matter of "when", all the jokes were on "speed" dial for when it happened (sorry, only thought of that as I wrote it).

some one said she was singing the O D COKEY this morning

the bag joke was a good 1 on sickipedia

The sicki site has actually overloaded and crashed!

Amy Winehouse fled her Camden home earlier this year, claiming it was haunted by the hideous ghost of a dead boy.

Strangely enough, she never seen it again once her friends removed all her mirrors.

lol

who are ya

Next one: last for now I do have a bit of sensitivity.

Amy Winehouse's death is very sad news

Well sad for her local Offy, police and where ever she brought her mascara - could be thousands out of a job. Luckily it makes no difference for the trade for local hairdressers.

'beehive' yourselves

Sounds like a splendid idea, why stop just at her, why not all who die from the drug trade.

Users, dealers, alledged drug enforcers?

All equal under the needle.

I'm pretty sure Insette (the ones who do spiky hairspray) will lose out in profit.

Well done daily mail, there are 90 something people massacred in Norway, all of them innocent, most of them children, however you choose your headline to be the death of a smackhead bitch who had it coming. Well done you plonkers.

Just witnessed the horrible site. The lifeless body, the big teeth, the distinctive 'horse' look and the fatal needle next to her. You may not have finished the King George Stakes at Ascot but your always a winner in my eyes. R.I.P Rewilding...

they are all the same, showbiz 1st, joe public LAST

Very funny I do like that one.

Even though I made jokes about her I do feel sorry for her parents, it must be horrible to watch one of your children destroy themselves.

RIP Amy,a very troubled soul.

Sky News now saying suspected drugs overdose.

i know its sad, but what about the 90 plus people that have been murdered in Norway, she wasnt murdered

My dyslexic mate just rang an told me
there's been a death at an Army
Warehouse somewhere in London

amy winehouse is dead, but where is everyone when a soldier dies, they might get 5 mins on the news, not like her all high lighted for about a month in every news paper on every news chanel, all because she was famous, but a soldier fights for our shitty country and gets fook all, shocking

I think the point he's making is there's 98 now dead in Norway and this shitty paper is posting about this trainwreck. Not to sure the soldier analogy applies. They know what they are signing up for.

they sign up to fight for our country, not be be shot fooking dead,

Does that mean she'll now become a 'musical legend'?

I think we're all far too cynical for that kind of behaviour these days...

Best coverage I've seen regarding Amy Whitehouse's death:

i dont mind what they call her, is that what they call rock and roll, im down off my soap box now

te=DavidB]Does that mean she'll now become a 'musical legend'? [/quote] This has been on the cards since she was about 19 years old .What a waste of a talented life ,Too much too soon I suppose .I feel for her parents they have tried so hard to help her she`s one of many now in the 27 club

Have I missed something? Has a 27 year old died? Was she troubled? Addicted?

Yes she did ultimately bring it on herself, and when she first tried drugs it was a conscious decision but it's still desperately sad that she was so beyond help.

I feel for her family and friends who will forever be wondering if they could have done.

I met her 2 years ago, she was in the room next to me when I was in St Lucia, she looked lost then, stared through you rather than at you, spent her time at the bar and had a similar pot belly to a malnourished African kid.

However, a lot of your arguments are valid, with the rest of the shit going on in the world, this shouldn't be front page news.

AmyWinehouse will now become the latest member of "27 Club." Other celebs to die at 27: Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin. What a waste.

Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in the individual pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors. The addiction is characterized by impairment in behavioral control, craving, inability to consistently abstain, and diminished recognition of significant problems with one’s behaviors and interpersonal relationships. Like other chronic diseases, addiction can involve cycles of relapse and remission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addiction is progressive and can result in disability or premature death.

From the American Association of Addition Medicine

Some may find the inclusion of the words 'chronic disease' in that statement challenging. It suggests that this situation happens to an invidividual rather than being a part of their free will. After all, no one consciously, willingly catches cancer.

Nevertheless, addiction is a disease of the 20th/21st century. Like many other diseases, there are cures. But at the end of the day an invidividual needs to make the conscious decision to accept treatment and persevere with it.

I think in the situation of Amy Winehouse, her family were doing what they could for her, but she had too many dirty, evil 'friends', who kept her in a state of weakness - supplying her with any drug she desired at the time.

At the end of the day, she had a disease, but chose not to receive the cure and stick with it. She chose not to turn her back on the people who helped her slowly poison herself.

We are born with free will. We die with free will.

This Sunday sermon is over.

My opinion is that it's not so black and white.
