Amy Winehouse found dead, aged 27

Breaking news

Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, has been found dead at her home, the Press Association has reported.

Last month, the north Londoner pulled out of her European tour after she was jeered at her comeback gig in Serbia for appearing too drunk to perform.

For 90 minutes, she mumbled through parts of songs and at times left the stage – leaving her band to fill in.

The troubled singer had a long battle with drink and drugs which overshadowed her musical career in recent years.
