She finally succeeded then, poor lass. She was a troubled one. Not a big fan of her music nor her lifestyle...but still a shame.

A real shame. She was a genuinely talented singer with a real gift. I really liked her and she's not normally the sort of act I tend to listen to.

What is it about performers and the age 27?

27 years of age. Seems to be a common age for troubled musicians to kick the bucket. Well, least she can finally rest her weary soul now.

Well, I really love her music. Her lifestyle was another thing. It is really sad...

It is like all the other: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison etc. etc. etc.

Was inevitable, waste of a great voice. Another talented voice lost to dugs/alcohol.

I think I burned a hole in her first CD from playing it so much. Sad. Not a shock, but sad.

Another talent wasted. While I never liked her lifestyle I have to give her credit for a great voice. 27 isn't an age to go.

Not to be disrepectful at all, but taking this on a tangent given the quality of some of her work...
According to Robert Rankin what is the age good music work has to die at?

Live fast, die young

Edit: Let me add that she always had great musicians around her...

Such a waste
