Heartbreaking news; troubled singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in the UK home today. Amy Winehouse was rumoured to be the top contender for the Bond 23 theme song after missing out on singing the Bond 22 / QOS theme because of her addictions.
A true tragedy. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, friends, and many, many fans who will miss her greatly.

The singer who was a staple of TV and movie soundtracks ranging from Glee to Valentine’s Day was 27. The UK Press Association is reporting that Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London apartment. Her troubles with drug addiction and alcohol were well documented and they prevented her from performing the theme song for the James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace since she was the producers’ first choice. (Instead, artists Jack White of the rock band The White Stripes, and Alicia Keys, recorded it.) News reports say the “Rehab” singer recently left a British rehabilitation program that a representative said was intended to prepare her for scheduled European concerts. But she cut short the European concert tour in Belgrade last month after she staggered around the stage and stumbled through several songs.
Special Thanks to ‘The Sweeney’
