A death foretold: The rapid rise and tragic fall of Amy Winehouse

In just 27 years, Amy Winehouse has managed to leave behind her a soul legacy, with a band of modern British female soul singers - Adele, Duffy, Jessie J - celebrating success across the world borne almost entirely in her wake.
Sadly, however, the immeasurably gifted singer is unlikely to be remembered for her talents, which were so often starved; drowned by drink and tranquillised by drug abuse.
Amy Winehouse's death was one foretold by gruesome pictures of bloody plimsolls and near death experiences from drugs publicly retold by her lovers. It almost seems unsurprising that, in death, Winehouse joins many of her heroes - Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison - all of whom died aged just 27.

This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't do drugs.

Will Lindsey, or Charlie be Next?

These stars, that like to life like hell on earth, pay for their life style with early deaths. I can't help but wonder if Lindsey or Sheen will follow in the footsteps of Amy.

Someone needs to reach out and help these people, but, it appears there is no one willing and able to reach out and minister to the rich and failing!

I hear about so called "Hollywood" ministries (on Christian television networks -asking for gifts to continue their ministries), but, I never seem to see these preachers knocking down the doors of stars in trouble.

There are quite a few Hollywood types who need immediate spiritual intervention, but until someone with enough "clout" comes forth, all we can do, as a church, is pray for these stars who are about to flameout and nova! :tear::tear::tear:

It's so sad when people self-destruct right in public and the media capitalizes on it. The singer had many problems, but she was someone's daughter and she was a person with thoughts and feelings and a soul. I think she was crying for help and all she got was media attention.

Crying for help?


REHAB
by Amy Winehouse

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
You tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go, go, go

...Self-fulfilling prophesy?
