Look Back on Her Life Hollywood Life

Publish date: 2024-05-15

Over 10 years since Amy Winehouse’s death, take a look back at the young star’s life that burned brightly and was extinguished far too soon.

Amy Winehouse experienced her breakthrough in 2006 with the critically and commercially successful album, Back In Black. Fueled by the massively successful hit “Rehab” – as well as “You Know I’m No Good” and “Back To Black,” hits in both her native England and in America – Amy was suddenly thrust to the top of the music world. Back In Black won the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2007, and at the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008, she took home five Grammys – including Best New Artist, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.

This singer, with her raven black hair and strong command of blue-eyed soul/neo-soul, seemed like she was going to be the next big music sensation. Sadly, those hopes were dashed in 2011, when she died from alcohol poisoning at the age of 27.

Over 12 years after her death, look at Amy’s journey and remember her not for how she died, but how she lived and the joy she brought with her music.
