Amy Winehouse Dead at 27

Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead by police in her London apartment today. Details are still emerging.

Winehouse's breakout hit, and biggest to-date, was Rehab, in which she admitted to a problem with heroin and substance abuse, but insisted she would not seek treatment. The tongue-in-cheek song made her a kind of rock and roll rebel, but her behavior - well documented because it was often in public - indicated the singer was more troubled than she let on.

Amy Winehouse was 27.
