No it may not be a surprise to some, but it is still sad all the same. Just this past week I sat with my coworkers. We were talking about Adele and I chimed in that I missed Amy Winehouse. Her talent was undeniable, but unfortunately she was a troubled soul. Many know of her for her breakout hit 'Rehab' where she said she wouldn't go to rehab. Many have joked that had she gone she perhaps would be here today. I think reggae artiste Natalie Storm summarized it best on twitter "Her demons were greater than her resolve and that is sad. Please stop bash d woman now that she's found peace from all u unforgiving ppl."
I believe everyone has demons. Some people are better at hiding or containing them. Never make fun of someone's death. You never know if someone close to you will meet a similar fate. No matter what you think about her battle with addiction she was still a very talented young woman. May she find the peace in death that she was not able to get in life.
RIP Amy Winehouse
9/14/1983-7/23/2011.
