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.

Egan · 07-23-11, 12:02 PM

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?

krashkart · 07-23-11, 12:02 PM

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.

Shame

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.

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?

danasan · 07-23-11, 01:38 PM

Live fast, die young

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

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

Oh no, the world is a druggie short

a truly inspired musician. very sad, but i guess she joins the hall of fame.

but this is unbecoming from an otherwise intelligent commenter. remember, buster, we know what you used to look like, and if you weren't spliff powered, i'm a munce pudding.

antikristuseke · 07-23-11, 04:11 PM

I wasn't. I have smoked weed, and on very rare occasions still do. But the total amount of times I have part taken in that is lower than my age.
Drug use and drug abuse are two completely different things in my book.

joegrundman · 07-23-11, 04:13 PM

i stand by my statement. it was unbecoming and disappointing.

in her short life she contributed lots. what's your major contribution that you can be so contemptuous of her?

I know its a shame, these celebrities must think that they are immune to drugs and alcohol

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