Amy Winehouse
The sudden death of British singer Amy Winehouse came as a shock to many of her fans worldwide, even though many people were aware of her alcohol and drug problems.
Despite how talented Amy was, her weakness to refrain from alcohol and drugs changed her image and personality, which caused her tragic death last Saturday at her London residence.
Amy Winehouse released only two albums in her life, one of which sold more than a million copies, and won five Grammys. Her soul-jazz style of singing, hairstyle, and the fashion of clothes she chose to wear made her different from many female musicians.
Amy Winehouse is not the only singer to die mysteriously of alcohol and drug-related problems. Jimmy Hendrix, Rick James, Elvis Presley, Carl Crack, Billy Murcia, Allan Wilson, and a host of others died of alcohol and drug causes. It was like they couldn't handle their own fame.
Amy's sudden death is another example of how alcohol and drugs can be disastrous to mankind. She was only 27, confirming it's true that the great really die young.
