I have never been 'invited' to a funeral.

[Doogle]

The only funeral I've been to, my great grandmas funeral, we got a phonecall from my grandad saying about the funeral but he never exactly said "you are invited" he just told us about it. But obviously we turned up cos he wouldn't have told us otherwise

Well, "word of mouth" may work in your social circle, but it simply would not "do" in mine .....

She was alone, it seems, for the last night of her life. During his 40-minute eulogy at her funeral on Tuesday her father, Mitch, said the singer had stayed in her Camden Square townhouse. After seeing a doctor for a routine appointment at around 8.30pm, she played drums and sang into the early hours, until her bouncer told her to keep it down. He heard her footsteps overhead for a while, then it went quiet. When he went to check on her in the morning she appeared to be sleeping, and it was only after checking again at 4pm on Saturday afternoon that he realised she was dead.

Well, that's one unemployed and unemployable bouncer .....

AMY Winehouse's family are convinced she was killed by QUITTING booze, The Sun can reveal. They believe the singer's decision to lay off alcohol completely for three weeks was a lethal "shock" for her tiny body.

Family sources say she died after ignoring her doctor's advice to cut down on her heavy drinking gradually. And the tragic star's loved ones believe she was killed by a seizure because her tiny 4ft 11in frame could not cope with such a dramatic withdrawal.

A source close to Amy's family said: "Abstinence gave her body such a fright they thought it was eventually the cause of her death."

The Rehab singer, found dead on Saturday aged 27, fell off the wagon three days earlier, sinking gin and Red Bull mixes at the iTunes festival at the Roundhouse in Camden, North London.

The cause of Amy's death will not be known for weeks, when toxicology test results come through.

It's possible, but .....

Omah, stop with the finger wagging emoticon.

Your social circles aren't any better or more well mannered than mine. In fact, if you have to wait to be invited by a grieving family to go to a funeral, then really, you don't know much about manners or paying respects.

It's entirely possible... Alcohol addiction is a physical one rather than mental. You're body learns to need alcohol to function. If it is taken away suddenly rather than a gradual weaning off, your organs can start to shut down.

WHAT are you talking about?

Amy Winehouse will forever be remembered for her musical talent, troubled private life, and thanks to a collaboration with preppy British label Fred Perry, she may have a lasting legacy in the fashion world, too.

The tragic star teamed up with Fred Perry last fall and the collab has produced two very successful collections. The look was classic but with a Winehouse-spin. “Amy gave crucial input on proportion, color and fit. The range clearly has Amy’s handwriting,” Fred Perry’s marketing rep said upon the line’s release. At the time, Winehouse told Harper’s Bazaar that they’d “pretty much done like up to autumn/winter 2012.” It’s worth noting that the interviewer described Winehouse as appearing heavily intoxicated during this conversation.

What next ..... ?

Perfume .....

Didn't know she was so small She always look tall to me, maybe it was the hair

[Enid]

I've been away from the forums a while and I know I'm late to this but whatever...

When my boyfriend told me the news of her death, it didn't really bother me. A couple of days later I listened to both of her albums and remembered why I loved her so much. Then I cried. And I still do. When I saw her on the cover of OK magazine yesterday I just wanted to crumble there and then. She was so beautiful.

It has hit me harder than I thought it would because I know I'll never get to hear that bellowing voice of hers ever again.

Hi Enid

Nice to see you!

Enid, she was not beautiful for gawds sake - she looked bloody awful 24/7

[Ninastar]

Thats subjective, but I agree with Enid. I think that she was beautiful - she had a very unique look about her

[Lee.]

She used to be very beautiful imo

[Novo]

Agreed


If she wasn't famous no way would anyone be calling her beautiful.. make up made her look half decent but apart from that no way

[Locke.]

Far from beautiful

[Enid]

I don't give a **** what you think.

I pay my respects and all you ***** do is trash her looks. Well done.

[Vicky.]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

Im not getting why everyone is rubbishing every positive opinion on amy.

[joeysteele]

It is highly possible,it is why with drugs and alcohol that coming off it has to be done in a gradually reducing way not a sudden stop, usually best done under some supervision too.
