Obituary by Variety:
Grammy-winning chanteuse Amy Winehouse, who drew as much attention for her struggles with drugs and the law as she did for her soulful singing, has been found dead in her North London home, according to London police. She was 27.
The cause of death has not been announced by officials.
Earlier on Saturday, Winehouse's manager issued a statement saying that the singer was canceling all upcoming shows. "Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances," said manager Tim Gatt. "Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen."
With her distinctive beehive hairdo and frequent run-ins with the law for fighting and drugs, she provided tabloid fodder as well as filling out the top of the pops with her hit single "Rehab," which was named number one song of 2007 by Time magazine.
