The late singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, who is still a legend, celebrated the 14th anniversary of her death.

British singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her home on July 23, 2011.

The police assumed the cause of death was an overdose. At that time, Amy Winehouse was known to have been suffering from alcohol and drug addiction for many years.




However, the deceased's autopsy found no signs of illegal drug use.

Britain's `The Sun' cited medical examiner Susan Greenway's record of Amy's death, saying the alcohol concentration was five times the standard for drunk driving, adding that excessive drinking was the cause of her death.

At the time, Amy Winehouse was known to have been drinking again three days before her death, although she had been drinking for three weeks.




The autopsy medical examiner said the deceased is believed to have started drinking a large amount of alcohol three days before his death and that his already weakened body could not handle it.

Winehouse, who won five Grammys in 2006 with his album Back to Black, has since been rehabilitated for drug and alcohol addiction.

Amy Winehouse, who was nominated for six awards at the 2008 Grammy Awards and won a total of five awards, was denied a visa by the U.S. Embassy for just being out of rehab and eventually performed live on satellite at a studio in London.

Even after the death of the deceased, the bereaved families of Abby Winehouse will spend the day together to commemorate Amy's death in the love of her fans. Amy was all part of the family as a daughter and a brother to us."I resent the world for taking such a talented singer at such a young age, but I still thank so many people who remember me" expressed his intention.

The bereaved family also announced the establishment of a charity named after the deceased with the aim of helping people living difficult lives due to drug and alcohol addiction on behalf of the deceased.

After Amy Winehouse's sudden death in 2015, MBC 'Mysterious TV Surprise' shed light on singer Amy Winehouse and introduced 'The Curse of the 27-year-old Club'.

The curse of a 27-year-old club is a law that arises from the fact that many of the world's genius musicians died at the age of 27. Rolling Stones leader Brian Jones, guitarist Jim Hendrix, Doors lead singer Jim Morrison and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain all died at the age of 27.

Amy Winehouse, who usually admired musicians in the `27-year-old club', reportedly feared that she would also die at the age of 27.
