Although a few days late Glamoos dedicated this day to one of the most incredible voices in the world of music, a voice more black than white, a voice so strong for so frail a body.
In the spotlight for its continuing scandals related to his addiction to alcohol and drugs, due to a strong depression and eating disorders, the British singer has done several times in the news, which recorded arrests, incidents of harassment, performance singing in a daze and acts of self harm.
Amy Jade Winehouse born 14 September 1983 in Enfield in England, into a Jewish family (his father is a taxi driver and mother is a nurse). Already from the age of ten he founded an amateur rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour, as Sour. At twelve he attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School but at thirteen, his true character emerges, in fact the singer is expelled for "not applicable" and with a bold nose studs. At sixteen he began his professional career.
On October 27, 2006 is published worldwide the album "Back to Black", which arrives at the summit in a few weeks. The lead single to have anticipated the release of the album is Rehab, which became a global smash. Perhaps one of the first signs of request for help, this song is about his refusal to detox from alcohol and drugs. In 2008 he won five Grammy Awar: three in the categories for the song Rehab "Record Of The Year," "Song of the Year" and "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance", one in the category "Best New Artist" and one for the album Back to Black in the category "Best Pop Vocal Album." The singer won three of four awards as the most important and aligns to the four other singers who have obtained such a large number of awards in one year.
But everything falls dizzily. The British singer for his problems and his addiction was no longer able to compose songs and perform in concert.
In the longer receiving treatment for drug and alcohol detox, Amy Winehouse was found dead in his apartment in London July 23, 2011. A drug overdose may be fatal.
Immediately after the news of his death were the thousands of condolence messages from fans of the singer left in the various social networks, and in front of his home. The pain was also expressed by many colleagues in the music world such as Lady Gaga, Lou Reed, Lily Allen and many others.
The end of a music star and fashion icon, only for his voice and his unmistakable style, the great Amy Winehouse.
Hello Amy!
