Amy Winehouse Dead: Life in Videos and Photos

Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her apartment in London. Police have said they don't believe foul play is involved in the death, however they have described the cause of her death as "unexplained.

The British singer was 27 years old

Below are several photos of the star through the years and a video of her first US TV appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman on March 12, 2007.

WENN reports: The star had a long and highly publicized battle with alcohol and drug addiction throughout her career and often sought help from rehabilitation clinics.

Her battle with drugs is believed to have stemmed from the death of her beloved grandmother, and later her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil, who she married in May 2007.

They later divorced.
Musical career

Famed for her iconic beehive hairstyle and heavy make-up, Winehouse's 2003 debut album Frank was nominated for the Mercury Prize.

In 2006, her follow-up Back to Black won six Grammy award nominations and five wins.

Other honors included a Brit award and three Ivor Novello Awards. In recent years, she has spent time in the Caribbean attempting to overcome her demons, but a comeback tour was scrapped in June (11) after a disastrous opening gig in Serbia where the seemingly drunk star stumbled around the stage, slurred her songs and stormed off several times.

Last Seen in Public

Winehouse was last seen in public earlier this week (beg18Jul11) when she joined her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield onstage at the iTunes Festival in London.

Winehouse's father, Mitch, was believed to be onboard a flight back to Britain from the U.S on Saturday.
