The family of Amy Winehouse has revealed toxicology reports showed there were "no illegal substances" in her body at the time of her death."

Anyone else thinks this means she overdosed on legal stuff?

From Patti Smith's web site:
"AMY JADE WINEHOUSE
September 14, 1983 - July 23, 2011
She was a rare thing. She was fresh and she was deadly. I had such affection for her voice. She possessed something of Timi Yuro, Toni Fisher, Dinah Washington. So many singers we have all loved.
Amy was born on my late husband Fred Sonic Smith's birthday. He would have appreciated that a musician of such merit shared his day. Now she joins him and all our precious artists that we have lost much too soon.
Of what propelled her toward self destruction, I can say little. How can one person really know the pain of another? But of her voice, this is something I can speak of. No one can dispute that she was as good as any of them, any of the greats that is."
She included this video... strangely appropriate:

"In her music, Ms. Winehouse could sketch out her troubles and laugh them off, with a resilient beat and that insouciant flutter in her voice. Outside the recording studio, as a human being separate from her art, Ms. Winehouse couldn’t do that. Her songs, it turned out, would be wiser than she was."

She was only really known for 1 song, rehab, which makes her a one hit wonder. She wasnt really famous for being a singer. Most people dont even know she put out any music after that song.
She was actually famous for being a total trainwreck and junkie. Therefore its really hard for me to care that shes dead. She was trying to kill herself anyway, so good riddance. Dont need to see this piece of shits name in the news anymore.
- omg - such a strange world view... any to correct you she won 5 grammys in one night (more than any other UK female performer), album sold 10millionfadein11
- performer) and her album sold over 10 million copies. hardly a one hit wonder - she was more of an album artist likefadein11
- the older artists she was influenced by. Aside from that you sound really fucked in the headfadein11
- cygnus shut the fuck , you'll never even get 1 percent of her stardom.jadrian_uk
- yeah shut your fucking evil twisted mouth - cuntfadein11
- You might not like her. But be try to be a bit less ignorant when you are clearly talking about something you dont know well...Fabricio

Let's hope her cousin, Dionne Bromfield, doesn't go down the same path

Never quite understand why people choose to put value on one life over another. She had a disease, she was 27, hugely talented (although I wasn't a big fan) and its nothing other than a tragedy.

On the flip side I swear this lookalike was her. She's alive, doing well, and riding her bike down B at 3rd.
