July 24, 2011, 13 years ago
BLACK SABBATH/HEAVEN & HELL bass legend Geezer Butler has issued the following update:
"It would be disrespectful of me if I didn’t mention the passing of one of my all time favourite musicians, AMY WINEHOUSE. To me , she was and is up there with Billie, Bessie, Sarah, Dinah, Ella, and I was so looking forward to her new stuff, but will always love the old stuff. A tremendous talent taken from us. Her voice will live on longer than all the crap written about her.On yet another sad note, my thoughts go out to the people of Norway, after such a terrible tragedy there. So shocking in such a peaceful, beautiful country."
Winehouse was found dead in her London home around 11 a.m. Saturday morning after years of a public battle with drugs and alcohol. She was 27 years old.
