Not loads to say. Believe it or not I have been grammy nominated for my work. Amy was supposed to come in and guest on another album I was engineering. What was funny that the label said she had gone into rehab but we had a guy coming round looking at the studio deciding whether to make an album at our place, and he said how he had seen Amy in Camden the day before completely off her head and partying. Was funny as the record company said she had gone into rehab whilst the guy was there. We sat there twiddling our thumbs all day in an expensive studio.

I feel for her and offer my deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Edit - more than that - that isn't enogh.

Wow, you can practically smell the 4chan ITT.

Really sad news, especially for her father who is apparently still on a plane to NYC and will pretty much be the last person in the western world to know of his daughter's death - compound that with the inevitable baying of the paparazzi when he touches down and my heart really goes out to him.

They tried to make her go to rehab...

gazillion don't know about 4chan but anything I have posted here is 100% genuine. terrible news.

MRP - sorry - I def wasn't replying to you at all - that comment was just directed at the inevitable surge of bad taste coupled with zero imagination that seems to pass for humour with some people.

No problem Gazillion.

Easy to misread a post out of context.

4chan? the woman has been in the public half dead from substance abuse for YEARS now. And made a song about not wanting to go to rehab. And obviously didn't wanna stop doing the extreme drugs. uhm?

Wow, I thought I was too empathetic. She was a trainwreck and this shouldn't shock anyone, especially her father. She died as she lived, looking like a corpse.

Um they can get news to planes now.

Someone really should do a faces of heroin (crack too) thing with her to scare the **** out of kids who are just getting into that:

Saddest news of the week.

fyp

Ugh, that almost makes it worse.

It seems like she as a great entertainer, What a loss...lol

You know who else does this things? Crackheads and Junkie bums that live on cardboard boxes. I cant say I really feel bad for them when they die why would I feel bad for this con who probably charged upwards of $100 for a ticket. To watch her all doped out and try to sing/entertain.

Edit: With this unsympathetic post let me say I do feel bad for her friends and family. I had a friends die recently from heroin so I know it does suck from that perspective.

You really think it's going to come as a big shock? He's probably written her off long ago. At some point with addicts you just have to emotionally disinvest or they ruin your life too.

I'm not saying it won't hurt. But still I doubt it's that big of a shock to him.

I think it also articulates the lack of care or concern when it comes to the music business. If she is on the front pages she is selling records. Go for it Amy **** yourself up and sell a few for us. ****s. I have been there and do know what I am on about.

must be a slow week

try harder, please

This is a level right?

Yes. A surprise, maybe not. But ofc it will be a shock to his system. It's his daughter. Not everybody who gets ****faced on drugs and booze dies at an early age. I'm sure he was more aware than most of the chances of it happening - all the same, I just really feel for the guy. The idea of being stuck on a plane and then having to deal with the inevitable press at the other end just seems too much. Not to even have the luxury of being in your own home when the news comes in where you can at least deal with it in familiar surroundings must be horrible. And then of course he probably has to get on the next plane back to the UK and sit there around another 200 strangers while he tries to keep his **** together, only to be greeted by the press again when he lands in London.

Yeah. A week of this is really going to suck.

Don't think the news from Norway qualifies as being on the same level as the death as Amy Winehouse. But the unnecessary death of one person whilst incomparable to the death of 90 innocent people is still a tragedy. One death is one death too many.

cry harder please

My heart goes out to Gildwulf
