It breaks my heart that at the tender age of twenty-seven years young we lost the one of a kind Ms. Amy Winehouse.
We all knew Amy battled with drug and alcohol abuse, however, I truly wish we could have saved her from her downward spiral.
"Winehouse died at her home in London on July 23, 2011, police have said that the cause of her death was as yet unexplained."
"At 3:54 pm BST on 23 July 2011, two ambulances were called to Winehouse's home in Camden, London. Shortly afterwards, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that she had died. It has been claimed that Amy Winehouse died from an ecstasy overdose. After her death was announced, media and camera crews appeared as crowds gathered near Winehouse’s residence to pay their respects. Forensic investigators entered the flat as police cordoned off the street outside.
Fans and celebrities across the globe quickly began posting their reactions to Winehouse's sudden death on Twitter and other social networks. Winehouse's record label, Universal Republic, released a statement that read in part: "We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer."

During her career, Winehouse received an impressive 23 awards from 58 nominations.
I think we really didn't understand how successful and talented Ms. Winehouse was. In 2009 Guinness World Records recognized Winehouse as having the Most Grammy Awards Won by a British Female Act.
