Fans Honor Amy Winehouse On Posthumous 39th Birthday With Heartfelt Tributes

Late singer Amy Winehouse would have been 39 years today.

The British singer took the world by storm after she debuted her first album, "Frank," in 2003, announcing her as a talent to be reckoned with. Her follow-up album "Back to Black" brought her more critical acclaim and cemented her position in the music business.

However, the singer's incredible run ended when, at the age of 27, her battle with alcohol claimed her life. Fans of the artist have paid homage to her online in honor of her posthumous birthday.

Fans of the demised singer took Twitter to share tributes in honor of the singer who left a huge mark on the music industry despite her life being quickly cut short. Many posted throwback videos of the singer and quotes from her songs, while others acknowledged how much they missed her singing talents.

One fan said, "She is definitely one of those whom when I think about, I get sad and angry. So much talent, so much potential. Well, we're all flawed! Hope you're happier where you are."

Another fan said, "Such a huge loss. I miss her everyday, her talent was limitless, and she's still such a huge inspiration to me."

Legendary musician Tony Bennett, remembered his time working with the singer and wished her a happy birthday. He wrote, "So fortunate to have had the chance to record with [Amy Winehouse]. You will always be remembered. Happy Birthday Amy."

A fan of the late artist penned, "September 14 1983 welcomed Amy Winehouse to the world. She would've been 39 today and probably a Mum. Rest in peace Amy, love you always."

The English singer was well-known in the music business when she was still living for her distinctive, deep vocals, her vivacious personality, and her constant readiness to grin. Her musical style was an eclectic mash-up of jazz, reggae, rhythm and blues, and soul.

She received praise from the critics after her debut album, "Frank," was released in 2003. She had even more success with her second album, "Back to Black," which holds the distinction of being one of the best-selling albums in UK history.

Winehouse later won a career-high five Grammy Awards at the 2008 ceremony, tying the previous record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night. Additionally, she achieved the personal best of being the first British woman to win five Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.

Winehouse's longtime battle with alcohol ultimately led to her demise. She was discovered dead on Saturday, July 23, 2011, in her apartment in Camden, North London, with empty vodka bottles all about her. Her blood alcohol level was more than several times the legal limit for driving, which was excessive enough to render her unconscious and impair her respiratory system, according to a coroner's report written after her death.

Just like fans have paid tribute to celebrate the singer's birthday posthumously, Winehouse was commemorated on her day of passing a few months ago. The singer being just 27 years old when she passed on, underscored her innate brilliance, her spectacular rise, and the heartbreaking tragedy of her downward spiral and eventual collapse.

If she had overcome her demons, she might have equaled many legendary figures who came before her and set more records for up-and-coming artists.

While fans of the singer already have the singer's discography to remember her by, they will also be getting a biopic produced by StudioCanal. Deadline said two months ago that the movie, which has been in development since 2018, will suddenly be moving forward.

"Back to Black" will be directed by Winehouse's close friend and BAFTA-nominated filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson, who has worked on the films "Nowhere Boy" and "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Per the publication, actress Marisa Abela is in the lead to land the role of portraying the demised singer after she wowed producers during an audition in June. It remains to be seen if the actress will get the part and who else will be part of the cast.

The showrunners have yet to reveal details about its premiere date.
