The most in depth and insightful family portrait of the life and fatality of Amy Winehouse, in the context of the infamous 27 Team. The fatality of Amy Winehouse at the age of 27 was a tragedy. She was one of the brightest music stars in years - a brilliant, original songwriter with a mighty tone of voice and great personal charm. Amy was loveable, but stressed. She was as notorious on her behalf messy personal life, drug habit and alcoholism, as she was celebrated on her behalf sounds, and her fatality in 2011, while shocking, was not sudden. Amy was also the latest in a series of iconic music stars who died at the same early age; you start with Brian Jones of the Rolling Rocks whose fatality in 1969 was followed by Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin in 1970, Jim Morrison in 1971, and Kurt Cobain in 1994. All were gifted. All were dissipated. All were 27. The 27 Team was initially used as a collective term for these lost souls after a comment by Kurt Cobain's mom. 'He's eliminated and joined up with that stupid golf club,' she said after Kurt shot himself. 'I told him not to...' With this groundbreaking reserve, Howard Sounes gives an in depth and insightful analysis of Amy Winehouse's life, and models that life in the context of the 27 Team. That six big music stars died at 27 - along with 44 less well-known titles - is on one level a coincidence. But behind this coincidence Sounes reveals is a troubling common narrative that clarifies how these musicians and artists met their fate, and casts new light on Amy's fatality in particular.
