Amy Winehouse found dead at age 27

People are all atwitter and shocked to hear of Amy Winehouse's death. Why? She was a huge drug addict and has been to rehab countless times. Her death is still listed as "unexplained" at the moment, but unless it was murder, then it was probably drugs. You may think I'm a jerk to talk so bluntly about someone that just died, but she became super famous for being a good singer and then she got really heavily into drugs and now she's dead. This stuff happens to musicians all the time. Some, like Keith Richards, seem to be impervious to death even after taking every drug known to man and probably creating some of his own while others fall prey to the worst outcome of drugs, death. I wasn't really shocked to hear of her death. I'm honestly shocked she lasted this long with as bad of a habit as she had. RIP to a creative and genuinely artistic singer. Amy Winehouse dying at age 27 is appropriate if you think about the other famous people that joined the 27 Club as it's known. Just a few that are on that list are Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain. There's a ton more of people on that list and here is a link to the Wikipedia article about it.
