Amy Winehouse

Given the right support and rid of that useless bell end of a husband she would have grown old as a forever legend

Exactly who I was going to say. What a waste of a life and an incredible voice.

Ozzy. I promised my eldest Dd that if he did a last gig we would go then we just couldn’t afford Back to the Beginning. She was so excited when we bought the livestream and we were planning a lovely day with our own mini festival at home. Then she took seriously ill and we watched in hospital and one of the nurses actually came and asked were we ok we cried so hard at Mama I’m coming home. We both said he was saying goodbye to the world not goodbye to performing that night. She was just home and on sofa rest when he passed and I have never cried at a famous person’s death before but Ozzy was one of a kind. We still watch World Detour on repeat while she’s on sofa rest.
