Soo sad.
An incredible talent, a loose cannon and another tortured soul lost in the world of "Show Buiiness" May she rest in peace. x

Just read it now on the BBC website.

She was such a very talented lady but sadly got in with the wrong crowd.

As Mildred says, sincere condolonces and thoughts to her family and real friends.

RIP

It's a shame she has died so young. She did have such talent.
I feel for her family and friends who loved her.
Sad, because addiction of any kind is an illness. Sad because its hard on any family to watch someone they love self destruct in this way despite doing all they can to help.
I hope she is now at peace and free from the demons that plagued her.

Regardless of differing opinions on this thread.

A young very talented human being is dead.
No doubt leaving behind her devastated family & real friends.

A terrible waste of a life. that's what's sad.

Yes she was an addict, a sad tormented addict who probably only hurt herself, and of course her family who watched her painful demise.

I think comparing her news story with other people & if they died is irreverent
Its not a contest to see who is more deserving of a mention.

A human being has died.

A human being who was an unique character with a huge fan base (for her music I may add).

And for that in itself it is newsworthy.

My great niece and nephew were playing with her on holiday last year, they called her 'Aunty Amy' and thought she was wonderful.

Totally different persona from her public one.

Very sad to hear of a life wasted in full view of the world.

I agree with Stan to a degree.

It's very sad for her family and no one LIKES to hear of a life cut short...however.......the coverage in the news is totally OTT when there are much bigger stories going on elsewhere in the world.

Celeb culture has a lot to answer for !

Unfortunately Ice..when publicity is courted and welcome they're happy to have it...but it can't be switched on and off regardless of the circumstances.

I hope she is at peace now x

Mildred, here here.

Ours is not to judge. Yes, we know she was addicted - she is not the first nor will she be the last.

I also remember sadly that Jimi Hendrix passed away at a similar age.
