Amy Winehouse found dead, aged 27

• Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, has been found dead at her north London home.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that a 27-year-old woman had died in Camden and that the cause of death was as yet unexplained.
London Ambulance Service said it had been called to the flat at 1554 BST and sent two vehicles but the woman died.
The troubled singer had a long battle with drink and drugs which overshadowed her recent musical career. She pulled out of a comeback tour last month.
Last month, the north Londoner pulled out of the European tour after she was jeered at the first gig in Serbia for appearing too drunk to perform.
For 90 minutes, she mumbled through parts of songs and at times left the stage - leaving her band to fill in.
Winehouse had won widespread acclaim, aged 20, with her 2003 debut album, Frank.
Worldwide stardom
But it was 2006's Back to Black which brought her worldwide stardom, winning five Grammy Awards.

The Grim Reaper has been a busy boy this week.
22 dead in the states, 16 in China at least 92 in Norway, a humanitarian crisis in Somalia. There's a lot of sadness out there at the moment.

I think that's a bit unfair, addictions are a disease.
I'm pretty sure that if she could have stopped drinking and taking drugs, she would have. I'd like to see how long many people on here could stop drinking if they were told that they couldn't touch another drop. That's what it comes down to if you're an alcoholic, never drink again. There's no such thing as social drinking.

Lots of very talented people suffer from it, Alex Higgins, George Best, The Beatles, easy to judge but no easy to lead a blameless life (ask the NoTW journo's).
