Amy Winehouse
Death
Sadly, at the end of her life, Winehouse's enormous talent was overshadowed by her addiction to drugs and alcohol. The singer died tragically on July 23, 2011, at the age of 27, from accidental alcohol poisoning.
Erratic Behavior
Attempted Comeback
In 2008, her album Back to Black was declared the second-highest selling album in the world, and in 2009, she earned entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Grammy Awards Won by a British Female Act."
Unfortunately, when it came to on-stage appearances, Winehouse returned to her old habits.
In October of 2007, she was arrested and held in prison overnight for marijuana possession.
After publicly admitting to illegal substance abuse, Winehouse was denied a U.S. visa due to her "use and abuse of narcotics."
By the end of 2008, the singer's marriage had dissolved.

International Star
In 2006 she entered rehab and turned the experience into the lead single for her second, critically acclaimed, album, Back to Black.
The song "Rehab," which discussed her refusal to receive treatment for substance abuse, became an instant Top 10 hit in the United Kingdom.
Early Career

Her debut album, Frank (2003), was a critically acclaimed mixture of jazz, pop, soul, and hip-hop.
During this time, Winehouse began developing a reputation as an unstable party girl, often showing up to her club or TV performances too drunk to sing a whole set.
She also started a tumultuous, on-again-off-again relationship with music video assistant, Blake Fielder-Civil, who admitted to introducing Winehouse to hard drugs.
Early Career
At the age of 10, she became drawn to the rebellious spirit of TLC, Salt-N-Pepa and other American R&B and hip-hop acts, and founded a short-lived amateur rap group called Sweet 'n Sour.
