Having struggled with addiction, Amy's death feels personal.

I've just heard the sad news about Amy. I saw her in concert when she first started out and absolutely fell in love with her music. I still listen to her music and always supported her, even though, clearly she was troubled. I love you Amy, you will always be in my heart.

Once in love with Amy
Always in love with Amy

I,m not stunned personalitites like her this
is a logical conclusion sometimes the thing
that make their artistry so great ends up
doing them in. so sad

My old neighbor wrote one of her hit songs...she introduced me to her music and I'll be forever grateful.

I wish those who are part of the music industry, as in managers, agents, etc... would know better how to deal with this dreaded disease of alcoholism and drug addiction. Its so sad to see that the life a of beautiful 27 year old woman has needlessly ended because of this deceptive disease.

I listened to Valerie on a loop when I was in the beginning stages of my turbo-crush on my current boyfriend of 4 years (particularly fitting was the lyric "and I like your ginger hair...")

I went through a breakup of a long-term relationship around the time "Back to Black" came out, and it seemed like the only thing my partner and I could agree on was coping by listening to this great record. I've hoped ever since then she would live long enough to make another great record, but alas...
