BRITISH singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in north London, Sky News reported last night.
Police said they found the body of a 27-year-old woman in a flat in the Camden Square after being called by the ambulance service around 11pm Shanghai time. They said they were treating the death as unexplained.
London Ambulance Service said Winehouse had died before the two ambulance crews it sent arrived at the scene.
Winehouse shot to fame with the album "Back to Black," a global hit with its blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse, with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos, one of music's most recognizable stars.
"I didn't go out looking to be famous," Winehouse told the Associated Press when "Back to Black" was released. "I'm just a musician."
But in the end, the music was overshadowed by fame, and by Winehouse's demons. Tabloids lapped up the erratic stage appearances, drunken fights and stints in hospital and rehab clinics.
