5. Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse had potential from an early age, her parents would always say. While she was a tough little girl to raise, Amy always put people before herself — she cared so much about other people’s feelings that she hated the idea of ever letting people down. 2003 was a great year for Winehouse, who signed a $500,000 record deal that saw the songstress pen the album Frank, all by herself. The album was a success, but by the time that Amy began work on Back to Black, her appearance had drastically changed. The soul-jazz singer faced a shocking drug addiction, it was so bad that her parents had even feared for her life. She wouldn’t eat, and made drugs and alcohol part of her daily regimen. In the end, alcohol got the better of her and took her life.
