Troubled, Grammy-winning singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her North London home, Sky News is reporting. The Daily Mail reports that police have confirmed the passing.
In a statement, the London Metropolitan Police said, "Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."
A suspected drug overdose took the life of the singer, Nick Buckley of the Sunday Mirror tweeted.
She's battled drug addiction for years, having most recently checked back into rehabilitation in May.
Winehouse entered treatment in late 2007 for drug problems, including admitted heroin use.
Earlier in the day, Tim Gatt of Sky News tweeted a statement from her manager saying that she was canceling upcoming performances, writing, "Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen."
She performed in a surprise appearance at the iTunes Festival on July 20th.
Winehouse has had previous near-death experiences, including one her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, described in detail back in 2009.
"I knelt over her as she kept on fitting. But then suddenly she just passed out and stopped breathing," he told The Sun (via NME). It was the most frightening thing I had ever seen. I felt sure I was watching her die right in front of me. I didn't know what to do or how to save her. I held her to me - and I thought she was dying in my arms. But somehow I managed to open her mouth and breathe air down her throat."
In January, 2010, she pled guilty to assaulting a theater stage manager.
In 2008, after some confusion, a spokesperson for Winehouse confirmed that she had "early signs of what could lead to emphysema."
UPDATE: Sky News Home Affairs Correspondent Mark White reports that sources confirmed that Winehouse died of a drug overdose.
UPDATE II: In a statement to Just Jared, Monte and Avery Lipman, heads of Universal Republic Records, said: “We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer. Our prayers go out to Amy’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time.”

Hard not to have a problem with substances with a name like "Winehouse."

probably killed herself due to her recent failures. wouldn't be surprised if her age affected her decision.

That club is reserved for talented people. She simply died at age 27.

That's too bad. She was a very talented woman. I enjoyed her music. Unfortunately she was better known for her alcoholism and drug addiction the past few years than her songs. RIP.

It's hard for me to feel sorry for her. She had her chance and wrecked it. Nothing in comparison to 92 innocent people being murdered yesterday.

If someone ever lumped that one in with Hendrix or Joplin I'd have to strike them.

For ever flushing round a summer sky. -Castle of Indolence

It's fine, whoever added her on the wiki page added her to "Other musicians who died at 27".

heh, I'm saving that photo.
I personally don't feel sorry for people that OD, they fucked up and paid the price. Its sad that this happened along the same time as the Norway incident...cuz we all know what were gonna hear more about *le sigh*

I'm gonna miss her. I've always loved her music, it's so much more interesting than the standard pop garbage. Makes me wish I had listened to more.

I like how this was posted in the drug news section before it was even confirmed that she died of drugs....because everyone just knew. 
She was pretty talented, and her death (and life, for that matter) was pretty tragic. R.I.P.
