Relatives of the reknown singer Amy Wine house said her unfortunate death has left “a big hole” in their lives.
Amy’s family released a statement expressing their grief at the loss of the 27-year-old, who was found dead in her north London home. As the Evening Express, a newspaper from London quoted one the relatives :“Our family has been left bereft by the loss of Amy, a wonderful daughter, sister, niece.She leaves a gaping hole in our lives.”
Amy Jade, Wine house was born September 14, 1983 and her life ended July 23, 2011.
She was an English singer-song-writer known for her powerful vocals and her free mix of musical types such as R&B, soul and jazz.
A spokesman for the family said the funeral would be held as soon as possible, but that the post-mortem examination and police investigation made it impossible to set a date.
He added that one of Amy’s security team had found her and called an ambulance, but she could not be saved.
Amy battled drink and drug problems throughout her career. Police, however, said it was “inappropriate” to speculate on the cause of death, which was being treated as “unexplained”.
The singer’s grief-shocked mother, Janis said she had seen her daughter the day before she was found dead.
She said: “She seemed out of it. But her passing so suddenly still hasn’t hit me.”
The performer had said “I love you” at the end of a day out together, and her mother said she would always treasure those words.
The deseased’s father Mitch, who flew back from New York when he heard the news, said: “This isn’t real. I’m completely devastated.”
Tributes have been left at the edge of police cordons surrounding the singer’s Camden home, including alcoholic drinks and cigarettes, alongside soft toys, flowers and candles.
Metropolis Music, Amy’s management company, released a statement saying: “We are trying to come to terms with the death of a dear friend and colleague, the most amazing artist and talent.”
