| Amy Winehouse |
July 24, 2011. Amy Winehouse Grammy award winning singer and tragic hero died yesterday at the age of 27 in London. Causes of her death are not known at this time. Ms. Winehouse, who rose to fame with her song "Rehab," ironically shared the struggles so passionately articulated in the lyrics, with her demons of addiction and attempts at recovery.
Many have voiced their sadness of the news including Demi Moore - who tweeted "Truly sad news ... May her troubled soul find peace" - to chef Jamie Oliver, who wrote "such a waste, raw talent" on the social networking site.
Tony Bennett, who recorded the pop standard "Body And Soul" with Winehouse at London's Abbey Road Studios in March for an upcoming duets album, called her "an artist of immense proportions."
"She was an extraordinary musician with a rare intuition as a vocalist and I am truly devastated that her exceptional talent has come to such an early end," he said.
