Saturday marks five years since the death of Amy Winehouse. Fans are now paying tribute to the late singer on Twitter.
As Gossip Cop reported at the time, Winehouse was found dead in her home on July 23, 2011 at the age of 27. It was later determined she died of alcohol poisoning. Though in the prime of her career, the British star had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. Her mom also said this past January that Winehouse may have suffered from Tourette’s.
But today, many are reflecting on the songstress and her music on Twitter, where her name has become a trending topic. Among those commenting is Nina Garcia, who tweeted, “5 years ago we were taping @ProjectRunway. During a break I checked @Twitter and I got the sad news: RIP Amy Winehouse.”
Among fans, @KingLadyGaga remarked, “5 years ago, we lost Amy Winehouse who was just 27 years old. Her impact and music will never be forgotten.” @AnQuilez said, “Today.. 5 years ago Amy Winehouse died… Rest in peace Angel. You were a big artist. I’ll miss your soul and jazz.” @BlackGAesthetic similarly wrote, “Today marks 5 years since Amy Winehouse has left this earth. Rest In Peace Amy.”
