took the time to visit a fan shrine outside the singer's home.

Amy Winehouse's grief stricken parents visit Amy's
shrine, her fans have made a shrine to her memory
opposite the singer's appartment in Camden town,
London. Friends, family and fans have left floral
tributes, personal messages and candles in her
memory. Today Amy's father reportedly said
he was touched by the out-pouring of love for
his daughter. Mitch also went on to thank his
family and all of Amy's fans for their support
at this difficult time. For the parents their support
seems to have given them some comfort.
Amy was only 27 years old! She had so much
to live for!

Reuters reports:
Fans from as far afield as Colombia, Mexico,
Italy and Spain streamed past the impromptu shrine,
some of them unable to hold back tears.

Unfortunately addiction got the better of her in
the end. Fans continue to gather outside the
singer's Camden home. Amy was not just
an English superstar, she was a global
music hit! Amy paved the way for
upcoming artists such Adele to
break the States. Amy has
influenced a new generation
of singer/songwriters such
as Eliza Doolittle. Amy left
behind a wonderful music legacy!
Her second album,
Back to Black, was the
best-selling album in the UK in 2007,
 selling 1.85 million copies over the year.
Amy's work was well received in the
U.S.A, she won several Grammy Awards
and a Brit Award.

looking very sombre today.

Close friend, Kelly Osbourne flew
into London today to meet with
Amy's family and friends. I don't
think many people knew just how
close they really were. Kelly is
devastated by the sad passing of
her best friend.

TMZ reports today that
the autopsy on the body of
Amy Winehouse is now complete.
According to police, no cause
of death was established
 ... test results are still pending.

I think Amy would have been
touched by the out pouring
of love for her from around
the world. We'll never see
another Amy again, she was a
unique talent!
