A sad day.

Can't believe this. I gasped out loud when I saw the news. My favorite artist of the last decade. RIP Amy. Thanks for posting this.

Sad. Doubly so that it was so predictable but apparently unpreventable. She was only 27.

Her best song imo. Dammit Amy.

No, no, no. I can't believe this happened or that I'm finding out this way. She was so hugely gifted. I was wishing and hoping for a Robert Downey Jr. ending.

Norway and Amy. Not a good day at all.

It helped to listen to the demo. Beautiful. Thanks.

Every day, someone feels this way about losing a loved one to drugs or mental illness.

I'd love this to become a thread where people post their favorite, most intimate Amy performances. I'm kinda over the big powerhouse wow moments.

That's her best song, Trurl. But I'm not surprised at the news, the way she was living her life, it was pretty much inevitable she wasn't going to get clean and sober. She hadn't released an album in five years, and her last appearance was a disaster. What a waste of a talent.

"Can't believe this."

Really? It always appeared to me that it wasn't a question of if but when. She's been publicly self-destructing her whole public life.

Self-destructive people are heartbreakers. You can be standing right in front of them, and yet have no way to reach them. RIP Amy.

I know she was self destructing. I can't believe this is my inarticulate way of saying I want it to not be true.

I also gasped when my brother told me she had died. What a tragic waste of a person and a talent.
