the general response seems to be "that's a shame, even though we could
see it coming from a mile away" it is too bad, back to black was a
great album, had it on repeat in my car for like a month+ back in the
day.

not only is it a shame she kicked it, but also that she didn't pull it
together enough to record a follow up to to her last album, i would have
liked to hear another one. not to mention missing out on doing the bond
soundtrack! she woulda been perfect for that.

rip amy.

Yes indeed very sad. I was not keen on the first album but Back to Black is worth an hour of anyone's time. I heard the news on Saturday while sat on a train. The young couple opposite me were chatting away when he got a text, which he casually read out to her... "Amy Winehouse has died"... and then went straight back into conversation without pause. What seemed like the entire carriage then had a collective WTF? moment and started fumbling with their phones trying to find out more.
