8. Amy Winehouse
It’s easy (and probably fair, to an extent) to be critical of the life Amy Winehouse lived, but there’s absolutely no doubting that her story was a tragic one. The incredibly talented English singer and songwriter had a huge impact on the music industry in her relatively short career, with hits including “Rehab” and “Back to Black”.
She was a notoriously troubled individual with a history of abusing both drugs and alcohol – and it would be the latter that killed her. In July 2011, her bodyguard found her on her bed – she wasn’t breathing and had no pulse – and she was pronounced dead by ambulance staff upon their arrival to the scene. She had died of alcohol poisoning at the age of just 27.
