It's always a shame whenever anyone dies relatively young, regardless of any celebrity lifestyle or whatever the circumstances.

Still, time to get the Dolly tunes out for a week or so.

It's common knowledge that she had major problems with drug addiction.

Nobody knows if this is the cause just yet, odds are it will be related to her addiction/drug problem.

Just watching Sky News, she was found dead in the bath around 3pm yesterday afternoon. No idea what happened yet. The evening party event went ahead in memory of her.

I watched a film about her life and rise to stardom, the drug use started at around 15 yrs old and got worse in her adult years. Still an incredibly sad loss to the world of music

She must have been a tortured soul to make such a mess of her life and squander her talent but those close to her, if there WAS anyone, will have suffered to almost a greater extent. I feel heart sorry for them but maybe it was a relief as it looked, from an outsider,inevitably happening sooner rather than later

Whitney was found in a bath according to the news (so far) this is a common practice for someone who has overdosed, the warm water keeps the body temperature at a normal level while awaiting for medical treatment.

The same happened with Jim Morrison (he was also found in the bath) and new evidence has come to light about his death and the follow up to his demise.

I'm just speculating, but it's food for thought.

I am not sure, and I really mean I am not sure. Amy had a lot of time ahead to develop her voice and style even further so I guess I could agree on that level. Either way, sad for both of them

its sad, any loss of life is no matter whom they are..

in the hours since she died hundreds of children will have passed away cos of the lack of clean water, preventable disease etc..

other people will or may have taken their own lives or 'OD'd and is equally sad...

how anyone can 'love' someone they never met is beyond me...

we become immune to the daily toll on our roads, alcohol or smoking related death unless of course we know the person..

she made her choices in life, sadly others will have never had the options..

OMG you are so right in what you are saying. It almost looks as if we value one life over another one. I certainly would not support that concept. I could never understand the hype over Princess Diana either - psychololy offers a few possible explanation. Either way, I think ANY premature death is sad, for whatever reason for we will never know what it was like to be that person.

This was suicide....drug user....no sympathy. No doubt her dealer will carry on supplying other celebrities who 'can't handle who they have become' as well as non celebrity addicts.

Illegal Drug users are the scourge of modern society, whether famous or not. Just another dead junky off the streets as far as I'm concerned.

There does seem to a fashion for conspiracy theories these days.

But talented as he was Jim was an acid head, its the same with Jimi Hendrix, they were destined to die young. They could of been murdered, but they were important people and there must of been a policeman there wanting to make a name for themselves.

Mozart as well, poor old Salieri has an awful press since as a jealous mediocre composer who murdered him, in fact none of its true, he didn't and he was a brilliant composer.

I used to agree, I told an American girl who spent a night on his grave that for him death was a good career move as he'd be forgotten otherwise. She was a bitch and I did get a kick out of pissing her off.

I bought the the album "The Doors" for about £2, listened to it six months later and then constantly for a fortnight, fucking brilliant.

I've read quite a few different accounts of Jim Morrison's life (all read with a pinch of salt lol) He was more of a drinker than a drug taker.

He indulged in acid and other substances but not as much as people made out. His partner on the other hand had a bad heroin habit and Jim used to do most of the scoring for her, hence always being seen with dealers etc.

Either way, famous or not, drugs are bad news and lessons are rarely learnt from people who idolise stars and mimic their lifestyles to a degree and all end up in the same place.

Back in the Swinging Sixties, Michael Caine is holding a big showbiz party in his swanky new house. Everyone who's anyone is there - top stars from the worlds of movies, music, fashion and art. There's a feed of pints, the best wines that money can buy, champagne, oysters, caviar.

Lennon and McCartney are helping themselves at the bar, Jim Morrison and his band are sitting on the couch singing 'Come On Baby Light My Fire', and over in the corner George Peppard's getting very pally with Sophia Loren.

All's going well until Jim Morrison decides he's bored out of his skull, and wants to go home for an early night, curled up with a good book. "Oi, Jim," objects Michael Caine "party's just got started. How's about I get one of 'the ladies' to take you into the spare bedroom for a bit of 'how's yer father?".

"Fair play!" nods Jim, well, that's not his exact words, but you get the gist, "as long as she does the rest of the band too."

"Not a problem, Jim," smiles Michael as he pulls a young dolly bird in close and whispers some instructions in her ear.

Half an hour later, the young lass is just wiping her chin, when in walks Ringo Starr from The Beatles. "All right, luv?" He droned, "don't suppose you fancy extending that service to me, do you?". The young woman thinks about this for a second, then says "what the hell!" And proceeds to unzip Ringo's fly and get to work. Ringo's having a grand time, until, moments before the end, the door flies open and Michael Caine bursts in and grabs the girl by the back of the hair and slaps her hard across the face!

"Wh-what was that for?" she whimpers.

"I TOLD YOU," Caine snarls..... "YOU WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF!"

Those dead junkies are somebody's daughter or son or family relative. I have a family relative caught up in drugs and it is heartbreaking. The dealers are merciless and will do anything to keep them hooked. The younger the better as far as they are concerned. It's very difficult trying to help someone who can't help themselves.

"..Everyone has a choice."
Unfortunately with many illicit drugs it is not quite so simple. I honestly do not believe that drug users are able to choose once they are caught up in that scene. I am not defending drugs, heaven forbid! I am glad, no grateful that nobody in my family and amongst my friends has a drug issue.

So I suppose you have been in tears for all those killed on the Cruise Ship that went down a few weeks ago? Or the kids dying every minute because of conditions they have no control over? Or over people killed in car crashes?

You must be in tears all the time! Or is it just celebrity that causes these tears? What makes one life more important than anothers?

And to the person somewhere up there who said about Whitney made records and was famous and Joe Bloggs would never have a "best of" album! Shame on you...

I don't think any death is more important than another...to someone that death for their family will be upsetting.

I do find that it depends on who the person is who has died and what interests you have depends on which way the comments go...ie comments on singers dying gets a different reaction to a motorbike racer dying.

I don't think there is anything wrong with mentioning people who have died wether that be motorbike racers/ singers/ any well known person and saying it is sad.

Is it the person we are mourning or the loss and waste of a great talent. Who hasn't been touched by her music ? At weddings, nights out, parties. There are plenty of singers. Few have a voice like hers. No I didn't know her,or Amy Winehouse, John Lennon, Princess Diana, Freddie Mercury or Ayrton Senna, but I miss them all cos thyall died before their time. Just like an 18 year old Canadian Air Force man in 1943 buried in a cemetery near here where there is a memorial to 1518 dead crew from HMS Hood. They didn't have much choice either. . .

i must admit to having had a heavy heart this morning when i saw that whitney had passed.

i think it stems from having had a major crush on her as a teenager and an appreciation of her voice when it was at it's strongest.

it is sad that any life is lost as the result of a life in a tailspin and neither the person nor their family, friends and mentors being unable to stop the downward spiral before the end comes.

i am sad, yet i shall not mourn the loss as, in general, i am detached from celebrity

i can't grieve for someone i didn't know, irregardless of whether or how they touched my life and that applies to famous people or a regular person killed in tragic circumstances.

however, some can and i think it is wrong for people to knock how others are feeling just because you don't carry the same sadness / grief or sentiment.

Whitney Houston had a great voice.

If she had sung Baa Baa Blacksheep or Three Lions on a shirt would you still mourn her as if she is a close friend?

I don't think so.

The songs that move you so much were written by 'talented' song writers.

That should give you comfort. More songs will be written and great singers will sing them.

I think Professor Steinman was a greater loss to the world. He did tireless work around problems with the human immune system but he was no singer so we don't mourn.

I asked on another thread if we should reward talent for the very reason i've just mentioned above.

Whitney ( May she R.I.P ) was born with a voice. She did nothing exceptional except earn money with it.

Every life counts. We seem however to put some on a pedestal above others.

Thr brutal fact of Whitney Houston's life, and death, is that she was an intelligent enough woman to know what drugs do to people yet still chose to go down that path. An amazing voice ruined by a reckless lifestyle that ultimately claimed her life. George Best was no different yet when he died I heard so many people say what a bad man he was for ruining not only his own liver but someone else's too. Was his 'gift' any less in value that Houston's? Best brought joy to millions of people as did Houston, so why is one mourned and the other castigated?

Bit music is totally subjective, quite frankly i cannot think of a single song by her or jackson that has any impact on me, compare whitney huston to a great gospel singer lke Aretha franklin, or Big Mama Thornton...she was commercial nothing more.

Doesnt mean that her death isnt sad for her family...but a tragedy?

Houston was not an unintelligent woman and was more than aware of the damage drugs do. IT seems that the entire entertainment industry is so hypocritical with their continuous 'Just Say No' campaigns when privately so many of them are stuffing lines of up their noses at every available opportunity. Either that or they have an army of doctors pumping them full of pills to sleep, pills to wake, pills to eat, pills to diet, pills to fart and pills to shit.

Celebrity often means nothing more than a reason to get lost in your own ego and squander a gift some wouild give their eye teeth for.

Whitney Houston died because of her own excessive lifestyle, and for that I have no sympathy.
