[Junction]

Love her or hate her .... she was an extraordinary talent.

and yep, aged 27.

Incredible. I mean amazing that in the modern age people can still fall through the therapy cracks, or kill themselves with known toxic substances, especially with no lack of funds or people around her to advise.
(I'm not in anyway anti-alcohol, just sad to see a wasted and unhappy life)

[SteveL]

Sorry to hear it, but it was coming wasn't it and I was not surprised when I heard the news (though sad for the talent thrown away so young).

[-Dave-]

Sad - for both the loss, and the predictability of the loss.

[rick]

yup

[Alistair]

Another 27 club unfortunately. Waste

[rick]

yup

[musikwerks]

Talented, indeed. Sad, indeed. Predictable? Completely. I told my wife in February it would happen before the end of the year.

I think I'm more upset about 92 innocent kids in Norway though.

[ChrisW]

Both are newsworthy.
The Norway thing broke my heart.
Beautiful, tranquil and liberal city and very gracious people.
