Breaking: Amy Winehouse found dead in home

They tried to make her go to rehab, again and again and again.

That beautiful, blowsy singer that killed it before anyone ever heard of Adele has died at age 27. Causes are “Unknown” although Amy’s drug addiction, disappearing frame and dental condition all point to the fact: Crack is Whack. She most recently had to cancel her European tour after appearing confused and forgetting her words onstage at a number of venues.

I debated posting these sad photos of where she let life lead her, but I think it is better to remember what really happened if it will help even one person from going down that road. A few years ago I saw several interviews with Amy’s anguished father. She had taken a tumble with her troublesome boyfriend and the parents were desperately trying to get her off of drugs. They claimed the boy was dragging her back down.

It wasn’t that this woman didn’t have help. She did. She had just gotten past the point of wanting it, and was surrounding herself with people on the same addictions. It’s a terrible place to be and to watch.
It’s a horrible loss of talent for the world, a void that allowed others to step in. Hoping for peace for her parents tonight.
