Amy Winehouse dies aged 27

Singer, whose 2006 album Back to Black won five Grammy awards, found dead at her flat in north London Singer Amy Winehouse, who achieved worldwide fame with her album Back to Black, has been found dead at her flat in north London. The body of the 27-year-old Grammy award-winner was discovered at the property in north London by emergency services at around 3.54pm on Saturday afternoon. It is understood her death is being treated as “unexplained”. Her death comes just a month after she called off some European tour dates after she was jeered for a shambolic performance during a concert in Serbia. Winehouse’s 2006 breakthrough album Back to Black won five Grammy awards, but her music has since become overshadowed by her chaotic lifestyle and run-ins with the law.
