Moving tributes from her celebrity friends and fans


Singers, artists, celebrities and friends of Amy Winehouse have all posted tributes to the star in droves following the sad news of her death.

Amy had worked and collaborated with a lot of people over the years, and clearly left a lasting impression upon anyone she met.

Russell Brand penned a touching tribute to Amy for The Guardian, calling her "sweet and peculiar but most of all vulnerable...

"From her oddly dainty presence that voice, a voice that seemed not to come from her but from somewhere beyond even Billie and Ella, from the font of all greatness. A voice that was filled with such power and pain that it was at once entirely human yet laced with the divine.

"My ears, my mouth, my heart and mind all instantly opened. Winehouse. Winehouse? Winehouse! That twerp, all eyeliner and lager dithering up Chalk Farm Road under a back-combed barnet, the lips that I'd only seen clenching a fishwife fag and dribbling curses now a portal for this holy sound."
