 BREAKING NEWS: Amy Winehouse, 27, found dead at her London flat
|
Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported.
The Back To Black singer was apparently found at the property in by emergency services at 3.54pm this afternoon, according to sources, and her death is being treated as 'unexplained' by police.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: 'Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased
'On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.
'Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.’
Picture of health: Amy was spotted out and about in London earlier this month
It is not known whether Amy’s father Mitch actually knows about his daughter’s death and Sky News have confirmed that he is currently on a plane to New York to take part in a Jazz festival.
Winehouse had been seen with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier this week as the teenager took to the stage at the iTunes festival.
She refused to join in for Mama Said, but did support the 14-year-old with a few dance moves before urging the crowd to buy Dionne's new album Good For The Soul.
A source said: 'Amy staggered onstage and grabbed the mic to beg the crowd to buy her protege’s new album.'
Winehouse's appearance at the concert came after she cancelled her European tour following a disastrous performance in June when she stumbled onto the stage in Belgrade and gave an incoherent performance appearing very disorientated and removed from reality.
Following the concert which saw fans enraged and the subsequent video that circulated to millions she cancelled the remaining dates of her European tour.
A statement released by the troubled singer's spokesperson said that the singer would be given 'as long as it takes' to recover.
Winehouse has had a troubled life which has included various stints in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.
In an interview in 2008, her mother Janis said she would be unsurprised if her daughter died before her time.
She said: 'I've known for a long time that my daughter has problems. But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realise my daughter could be dead within the year. We're watching her kill herself, slowly.
'I've already come to terms with her dead. I've steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road.
'I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She's on their path. It's like watching a car crash - this person throwing all these gifts away.'

ايمي واينهوس.. وصلت القمة.. ثم هوت للقاع..
كانت أول بريطانيةـ على الإطلاق ـ تحصل على خمسة جوائز غرامي.. وبيعت أكتر من عشرة ملايين نسخة من ألبومها (باك تو بلاك)..إلا أنها كان لها مشاكل في صحتها، وعلاقاتها، ومع المخدرات.. كانت حياتها الفنية عاصفة.. وصلت للقمة، ثم هوت بعد ذلك للقاع..
كان أول سطوع نجمها في العام 2003، وهي في العشرين من عمرها بألبومها (فرانك).. وكانت بداية ناجحة، وحازت على إعجاب الجمهور والنقاد والمحكمين كما في جائزة ميركري على سبيل المثال.. كما سطرت اسمها في هذا الألبوم ككاتبة أغاني رائعة.. نجاحها التالي كان في العام 2006 بألبوم (باك تو بلاك) والذي وضعها على القمة المطلقة في عالم صناعة الموسيقى.. فعلى سبيل المثال تم ترشيحها لستة جوائز غرامي، حصلت على خمسة منها كما سبق.. في هولندة اشتهرت مغنية السول والجاز هذه بالأغنية الأولى من الألبوم: Rehab .. وفي بداية 2007 كانت هذه الأغنية على رأس قائمة الأغاني المفضلة.. وفي نفس العام بدأت مشاكلها تطفو على السطح.. إذ أصبح اسمها يرتبط باستعمال المخدرات والكحول، وتظهر في المسرح فاقدة للطريق وناسية لنصوص أغانيها.. ثم تلى ذلك زواجها ومشاكله المعروفة.. في 2008 كانت واينهوس أقرب للقمة والهاوية في نفس الوقت من أي وقت؛ إذ ظهرت أغنيتها الأكبر Valerie وفي نفس الوقت ازدادت مآسي حياتها.. فقد دخلت عدة مرات مراكزلعلاج المدمنين كما تبين إصابتها بمرض emphysema أو إنتفاخ الرئة..
في شهر يونيو الماضي قطعت جولتها الأوربية بعد النهاية المأساوية لحفلتها في بلغراد؛ إذ كانت بالكاد تستطيع الوقوف على قدميها وقد نسيت نصوص أغانيها، وكان وقتها قد خرجت قبل تلاتة أسابيع فقط من (rehab) أو مركز علاج الإدمان.
