This is so sad, and shocking.
Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her London home. The 27-year-old 'Rehab' singer was found this afternoon and police say her death is being treated as "unexplained".
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."According to reports Amy's musician father Mitch has yet to hear the shocking news, as he is in the US performing at a jazz festival.
Winehouse had last been seen supporting her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier this week as the teenager took to the stage at the iTunes festival.
At the gig Amy 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 was acting highly intoxicated at the gig: "Amy staggered onstage and grabbed the mic to beg the crowd to buy her protege’s new album."
Amy was in bad shape since she cancelled her European tour following a disastrous performance in June when she stumbled onto the stag.
A statement released at the time said she was taking time out to focus on her health and finally kick her addictions:
"Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen."Amy first broke on the music scene back in 2006 with her multi-million selling album Back To Black, she has had a troubled life which has included various stints in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.
Amy was currently working on her big comeback album.
