Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London home on Saturday. The Rehab singer was found at the property by emergency services at 3.54 pm (London time), according to sources. Her death is being treated as 'unexplained' by police.
Her problems with drinking and drug abuse are publicly known, especially after Winehouse cancelled her recent concert tour. Her spokesperson said the singer needed time for 'recovery'. Surprisingly, the singer made a stage appearance only a week ago as her 15 year-old niece released her first album.
Celebrities expressed their condolences via Twitter. Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton said, 'Such sad news about Amy Winehouse. My thoughts are with her family.' CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper tweeted 'Just heard a report Amy Winehouse has died.
If true, such a waste of a great talent.' The 27 year-old's death follows a bizzare list of musicians who have died at 27. The group has even been named the Forever 27 Club and includes Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison.
