London- According to reports from TMZ, famed singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London flat today. The Singer was said to have purchased a cocktail of narcotics including cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine mixed with alcohol. She just split with her longtime boyfriend and film director, Regg Traviss who had previously turned down a marriage proposal from the star. Traviss was desperate to help Amy turn her life around but after he realized that she couldn’t be helped he decided to end  their relationship. Although her and Traviss had split, he was outside her apartment today along with Amy’s bodyguard as well as long time friend, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, as the investigation went on in Winehouse’s apartment.

Winehouse’s body was taken to a local mortuary and her heartbroken mother Janis, admitted she believed her daughter’s death had been ‘only a matter of time’ when they met just 24 hours before she died. Winehouse famously battled addiction to drugs and alcohol and was in and out of rehab several times throughout the years. Last month, Winehouse canceled her European tour after a performance in Serbia where she seemed completely out of it. In fact, she was booed off stage the concert in Serbia. The signer was known for her trouble with drug abuse and apparently her team of people tried to get her to go to rehab but she said “No, No No”, as her first single states in the chorus.

Amy had recently completed her third album but the release date was delayed by Island Records when she went into rehab. The singer’s tragic death at the age of 27 puts her in a monument commemorating legends who have all died at the same age, better known as the 27 Club.

The very talented songstress will be missed.  The Fashion Reporter would like to give our condolences to the Winehouse family.

Besides rumours that the Big Boy and Andre 3000, also known as the iconic hip hop band Outkast, is working on another album, it looks like the urban fashion guru is also being tapped to play rock icon Jimi Hendrix in an upcoming independent biopic! This would be the stuff dreams are made of! We feel like there couldn’t be a better person in Hollywood to pull off the role of Jimi Hendrix. Both stars dared to be original in a time when their personal styles may not have been appreciated, and they moved on to be the change, and help to shape their entire respective generations in fashion and music. Plus there is an uncanny resemblance- or maybe its just the hair… Either way, let’s hope it actually comes to fruition!
