This year the music world lost one of their most troubled and talented little muses, Amy Winehouse. Amy joined "Forever 27" - so named because artists such as; Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and now Amy, all tragically died at this age. After a couple of years crumbling before the press and public's eyes she appeared to get her life back on track, before hitting the headlines again during a tragic performance and then again when she was found dead. Amy passed away on the 23rd July this year at her Camden flat which was later concluded that she was a victim of misadventure. Despite dying so young she etched marks on this world that won't soon be forgotten. Her distinctive beehive, short skirts, vests, 50s style tattoos and over the top eye liner immortalised her and turned her not only into a music but something of a style icon.
Her final ventures were a Clothing line for popular sports casual label Fred Perry and an album of previously unheard material called, "Lioness:Hidden Treasures", which went straight to the top of the album charts.
She left more than a handful of beautiful tracks and breathed life into old ones;
Although she had suffered rough patches very publicly in the end the scene outside her flat showed that she was loved, admired and would be terribly missed.
Millions of messages were sent out from all over the world talking about what a tragic loss it was and everyone wanted to show that they cared. Amongst the messages from celebrities
