That is sad news, she was too young. 27 was also the age Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Kurt Cobain and many other artists were when they passed away. It's very freaky. The 27 Club RIP, Amy. _________________________ "It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish." - J.R.R. Tolkien

It only goes to prove that life truly is short, and that if anyone has differences to settle, that they should settle them immediately. Tomorrow may be too late. Even though I didn't listen to her style of music or like that she was on drugs some, I do wish she rest in peace.

In some ways it's not a surprise but is atill a waste of talent. The '27 club' link occured to me as well. It makes you wonder... _________________________ Don't Dream It, Be It!

A difficult, ill-disciplined and fragile soul with a fantastic, unique talent set who clearly was not equipped to deal with constant and intense exposure. So long too soon Amy Jade x

She had so much more than the rest of us but was sadly devoid of whatever it was she really wanted, if she even knew what that was. _________________________ If you aren't seeing Heaven while you dream, you're doing something wrong.

I mean, if you weren't a fan before, why buy the music now? I hope she finds her lost potential in the next life. _________________________ Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense - Gertrude Stein

I remember when John Lennon was killed and I was working at a music store, we couldn't keep his albums on the shelves they were selling out so fast. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.

When you listen to her lyrics she knew she wasn't going to live very long. I cheated myself like I knew I would I told you that I was troubled you know that I'm no good.
