The rumour's gathering a huge amount of steam of Twitter. A bunch of top journalists are tweeting about it.
"Police sources have confirmed that Amy Winehouse is dead. Found at her North London home at 3.54pm. Drink and drugs overdose suspected."

I just tried to Google this and all I could find were similar stories from 2007, 2008, and 2009. And betting pools. Hopefully it isn't true. EDIT: Oh.

It's all over Sky News.
Can't say it's a surprise, but still, it's a sad story.

"Back to Black" was one of the best songs of the last decade. She was ridiculously talented.

Some "celebrities" have taken the time to comment on her passing... Magnus: Shocked and saddened by the news of Amy Winehouse's death. What a talent and only 27... Piers Morgan: Such desperately sad news re Amy Winehouse. Supreme natural talent, terrible self-destructive addictive personality. #RIP Michael Owen: Very sad couple of days. Still struggling to come to terms with the attacks in Oslo and now this.... The popular Racehorse Rewilding died in action today too. Shocking couple of days. To those idiots out there, just because I've mentioned 3 separate sad incidents doesn't mean I'm comparing them with each other. Paloma Faith: Just heard amy winehouse died today.I am so so sad for her and her family. What a tragedy...unbelievable. Jessica from The Veronicas: Horrible news about Amy Winehouse's death. May she rest in peace. Such a talented lost soul. Demi Lovato: Amy Winehouse.. So sad. Unfortunately the world lost an incredibly talented woman to such a powerful disease... addiction. #RIP Phillip Schofield: Just heard the sad news that Amy Winehouse has died. At only 27 what a terrible waste of a great talent. Sincere condolences to her family. Jessie J: The way tears are streaming down my face. Such a loss. #ripamy Fearne Cotton: Can not believe the news. Amy was a special girl. The saddest news. Imogen Thomas: Im so upset to hear about Amy Winehouse. 27 years old :-( My sincere condolences to her family. RIP.

Kelly Clarkson: I heard the news about Amy Winehouse. I'm incredibly sad. I didn't know her but I met her a few times and got to hear her sing before she blew up. She was a beautiful and talented girl. I'm angry. What a waste of a gifted person. What a shame she saw no hope and continued living her life in that manor. I have been that low emotionally and mentally and that is overwhelming. I keep asking myself why some of us are spared and the others are made examples. I'm very angry and sad. I don't know why it's bothering me so much. Sometimes I think this job will be the death of us all, or at least the emotional death of us all. Maybe that is why as a little kid in sunday school I learned that God didn't want false gods or idols. I thought it was terribly selfish of God as a child but I think I get it now. He didn't want us following people or things that are imperfect and not so much for the followers but for the gods and/or idols who will never be what everyone wishes or needs them to be because we are made imperfect. He knew we wouldn't be able to handle the pressure, the shame, the glory, or the power the spotlight brings. I am distraught. I am also extremely grateful and thankful for the people who love me and support me. Without such amazing friends and family who knows where I'd be. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for peace in your hearts.

I love when people that didn't know her are that broken up, supposedly. Anyway, I've always accepted that I'm not a great person, but I actually felt a little bad when my first reaction was "She totally just oversold for her Rehab song."
It's sad, but not more so than how she chose to live her life. I feel awful for her family. Addiction is not a pretty thing to deal with and if the person will OD is a constant worry when dealing with an addict. It sucks.

I don't get why some people are so devastated and mad over it. She was a grown woman who lived her life the way she wanted to, and she was aware of the repercussions. She even wrote a song about it. It's not like this was something that was done to her or out of her hands.
RIP tho.

She was on the drugs before she was famous. Her problem should have been sorted out before they let her release her debut album tbh.

That's sad. She was really talented. I always liked her after her Grammy win. She seemed so genuinely surprised. I like it when celebrities are humble.
Plus she liked wrestling too. RIP
