The inevitable, yet still very sad news...
...Amy Winehouse has died.
Personally, I'm very sad because it looked like she had sorted herself out. Too much talent, too many demons.

>>>it looked like she had sorted herself out.
But she was booed off stage only a few weeks ago for being drunk on stage and had to cancel the rest of her tour.
So it does not sound as though she had sorted herself out.
Very sad but not unexpected.

I understand your sentiments, but I should clarify something for you. Amy Winehouse was by a country mile the best British singer this country has produced in the past decade.
Q (Britain's biggest selling music magazine) named her 'Artist of the Decade' at the end of 2010, based on her peerless albums 'Frank' and 'Back To Black'.
She was also opened the door for a whole raft of great (my opinion only) female artists such as Jessie J, Adele, Estelle, Kate Nash, Lily Allen etc because record companies realised (through Amy's success) that they could make big money from strong female solo artists.
Summarising her as a 'junkie' DOESN'T belie your age, but it DOES belie your knowledge of her cultural impact.
Incidentally - the main news providers lead with the Norway story tonight, with the hacking scandal at number two and Amy third.
It's possible that when you turned on your TV, it was breaking news, so that's why there was so much news devoted to the story.

I can never understand how society can accept anyone who goes outside the norm or who doesn't conform to the norm of the culture of that society. It doesn't matter if they are the best person, most wonderful singer or whatever they are good at, surely what counts is the way they lead their lives as an example to those who follow them. If they fall by the wayside, yes it's sad, yet if they refuse help or ignore the warnings from their loved ones and those who admire them then it is by their own hand they fall. If more people in the public eye were ostracised for wrong doing, then perhaps the youngsters wouldn't think that anything goes just because their idol does it. It might bring people to their senses to know that there are limits to everything and that some things really are not acceptable within a decent society.
