Saw Amy a couple of years ago at V Festival in Stafford. She sang brilliantly but looked frail, lonely and forlorn and scared to death. I don't know what demons haunted her but guess they were similar to those that ultimately killed my brother who was a very talented musician with the same dependencies as Amy. Sadly I lost two brothers relatively close together, one was an alcoholic and drug addict, the other a successful family man. I loved them both, I miss them both in equal measure.

Not sure why Amy's death is being linked to the tragedy in Norway apart from the fact that deaths involved, each circumstance is deserving of our sensitivity and sympathy.
