Breaking News Amy Winehouse Dead @ 27 Years Old R.I.P.

Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment today according to numerous reports. The UK singer was 27-year-old.

A press release from Metropolitan Police does not specify Winehouse by name, but reads

"Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05 hours 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.

Inquiries continue into the circumstances of death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

Winhouse cancelled her European tour last month, and has long struggled with substance abuse.

Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London Saturday, the UK Press Association reported. She was 27.

The "Rehab" singer had a history of battling drugs and alcohol and recently left a British rehabilitation program that a representative said was intended to prepare her for scheduled European concerts.

But she cut short the European concert tour in Belgrade, Serbia, last month after she staggered around the stage and stumbled through several songs.

The troubled British singer was known for a stirring, soulful voice that was considered a through-back to the Motown days of music.

She had a breakout year in 2008 when she won several Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year for her hit “Rehab.” Her album “Back in Black” garnered Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year.

But there was trouble.

Winehouse's volatile marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil took a toll on the singer's career. The couple divorced in 2009 after a stormy two years filled by drug addiction and arrests.

Winehouse’s parents went public with their efforts to help their daughter, telling the London Telegraph in 2009 that she was on the road to recovery.

"A gradual recovery, which is good,” Winehouse’s father Mitch told the Telegraph. “With slight backward steps – not drug backward steps, more drink backward steps if you follow my drift. I think that will be the pattern of recovery."
