Paloma Faith said everything that needed saying without being too sugary on her Facebook page:

Goodnight Amy

When she opened her mouth to sing it was like the heavens opened, the voice of a bygone era, and in it was contained all the sadness and heartache of all the world, and that was what sounded so beautiful. She was so tragically beautiful.

Such a great loss for her family, her friends and her listeners.

I think it is important that people don't romanticise what happened to her, it is a warning to all of us. The truth is, Amy would have been better off alive, not forever young like so many of the other greats. She paved the way for me and others like me and her legacy will live on, timeless and infinite all at the same time.

I am so moved and so grateful for what she contributed to our generation of music and only sad she won't be around to do more.   

Rest in peace.

Goodnight Amy.x
