Amy winehouse grave

Said Tom Marshall, a 27-year-old musician from London. “I wasn’t surprised when I heard the news, but I was in a way shocked. Obviously, I didn’t know her as a person and I probably only got the tabloid view of her as a junkie. One of the sad things is that that may have contributed to this: the pressure of the paparazzi outside her house all the time.”Marshall added: “The sunset over London on the day she died was incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it. I took a photo of it and have just placed it on the memorial. Friends of mine from my squat, we also painted the words ‘Amy Winehouse R.I.P.’ on to the front of our house. I’ve put a picture of that here too.”Reporting from London by Chiara Atik and Chine Mbubaegbu.Related• Amy Winehouse’s Death: A Troubled Star Gone Too Soon• Musicians Respond to Amy Winehouse’s Death• Photos: Amy Winehouse Remembered• Photos: The Tumultuous Life Of Amy Winehouse• The Diva and Her Demons: Rolling Stone’s 2007 Amy Winehouse Cover Story• Up All Night With Amy Winehouse: Rolling Stone’s 2008 Story• Video: Behind the Feature: Claire Hoffman on Interviewing Amy Winehouse• Photos: Not Fade Away: Amy Winehouse and More Rockers Lost Before Their Time• Video: Amy Winehouse: Remembering the Soul Icon• Video: U2 Pay Tribute to Amy Winehouse• Family: Amy Winehouse’s Death ‘Leaves a Gaping Hole In Our Lives’• Courtney Love on Amy Winehouse: ‘I’m Gutted’

From BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia (SENNA), AMY tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse - in her own words. Featuring extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks, this strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can. A once-in-a-generation talent, Amy Winehouse was a musician that captured the world's attention. A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense - she wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most unique and adored songs of the modern era. Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel. Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27.

Fans and neighbors leave flowers, cigarettes, wine glasses, art and poetry for late singer Shortly after news broke that Amy Winehouse had died on Saturday, her fans and neighbors set up a memorial in the Camden Town section of London. Today, the atmosphere there was eerily quiet, as a variety of mourners both young and old paid their respects and lay flowers, cigarettes, beer cans, empty wine glasses, written poems and drawn artwork. One poem at the site, written in marker on poster board, is titled “Oh Amy Why?” and pleads “Amy why? Amy why? / Why has this happened? / You were so young, so gifted, so talented.” Another note, attached to a bouquet of flowers, reads “Thanks Amy, you made an old rock and roller want to play again, live again.”Winehouse was a fixture of the Camden Town neighborhood, which boasts a very active night life, and a regular at the Hawley Pub, where she regularly interacted with – and occasionally served – customers. Tonight, a regular told Rolling Stone that the pub is planning on taking all extra profits from Saturday and donating it to a cause “worthy of Amy.”Simon, a Camden Town resident of over 30 years who declined to give his last name, remembered Winehouse from her days working at a local launderette and her performances at the Jazz Cafe. “It doesn’t make it any less bad that she was damaged, that she was a woman in pain,” he said. “They’ll remember her as a

Great Londoner and a great artist, one of the greatest voices of the last 50 years.”Photos: Family, Friends and Fans Remember Amy Winehouse Trending Stories Another neighbor, who gave her name as Carola, told Rolling Stone that Winehouse had seemed to be in good shape in the weeks before her death. “You could tell, she was a bit messed up sometimes, but I thought after her rehabilitation she was looking a bit better, but, yeah, completely surprised.” Sisters Trudi and Kelly Wilkes, from nearby Primrose Hill, also knew Winehouse from the Hawley Pub. “I have to say, a lot of her antics made me laugh, but it felt like I was laughing with her, not at her. A lot of people have made some horrible comments on Facebook but these are the same ones that want their kids to grow up to be famous,” said Kelly. “People don’t realize the price of fame.” Editor’s picks The memorial site has also attracted a number of tourists. Marta Mayo, a visitor from Spain, stopped by the site with a can of Stella Artois in one hand and a cigarette in the other, “just like Amy would have wanted.” Remarking on the mood at the memorial, she said, “It’s so quiet, it’s strange. I almost feel as if we should be singing because that’s what Amy would have done. If I could sing, I would start something.” Londoners were also passing through today on their way home from work.”It’s so touching being here,”
