Singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London on Saturday, July the 23rd. The award-winning artist was just 27 years old, the same age as Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin. 

Winehouse shot to worldwide fame and acclaim following the release of her album Back to Black in 2006, which won five Grammy awards and became the third-highest selling album of the 2000s. She had spent years battling alcohol and drug addiction. This and other demons in her personal life affected her ability to perform live and she was booed offstage for appearing too drunk to perform in 2011. She sang about her addictions and attempts to beat them in her smash hit Rehab, an example of her gritty and honest songwriting.

Tributes from across the world following her death show what a unique talent she was and how much she will be missed. The BBC said: “With her gravelly voice and eclectic style, Amy Winehouse…won comparison with some of the great female singers such as Sarah Vaughan and Nina Simone.” Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper wrote: “She was without question the outstanding vocalist of her generation. Without Amy, there would have been no Adele, no Duffy and no Lady Gaga.” It added: “The tragic loss of Amy Winehouse has robbed us of a young, if fatally troubled, life cut down in its prime. It has also cheated British music of a talent, at 27, whose best years surely still lay ahead.” Singer Rihanna tweeted: “I am genuinely heartbroken…#DearAmy.”
