I cheated myself/ Like I knew I would/ I told you I was trouble/ You know I'm no good

Five-time Grammy-winning recording artist Amy Winehouse has been found dead at age 27.
Winehouse, who had a long history of making headlines for drug abuse and possible mental health-related issues, was dealing with the cancellation of European tour due to a recent disasterous performance in Belgrade. Many people around her had been publicly concerned for her well-being, including Tony Bennett who Winehouse had just cut a new single with. However, as recently as last week, it was reported that the singer was "on the up and up".
With a globally-impacting album, Back To Black—one of the top-selling album of 2007 and went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide—Winehouse established herself as a major talent and a household name. Nonetheless, her erratic behavior and penchant for the outrageous earmarked her as a tabloid favorite as well.
The singer had been working on a new album which supposedly had been completed but was rumored to be delayed until Winehouse entered rehab.
Some of her best known songs for which she will be remembered include:
You Know I'm No Good
Rehab
Back To Black
In My Bed
F*ck Me Pumps
Me & Mr Jones (live)
Tears Dry On Their Own (live)
Sadly, Winehouse joins a list of noteworthy musicians who died at age 27, including Brian Jones, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain
