Annie Lennox, from her blog, posted on FB:
"It's almost unbearable to think of yet another OUTSTANDING artist being prematurely snuffed out like a light…far too soon. I'm torn between the profound awe I have for the incredible voices of Whitney and Amy, and the horror I feel over the destructive natures of their respective demise. So many phenomenal performers have fallen between the cracks like this. It makes me feel so sad. I've been looking at YouTube clips of Whitney today, and reflecting on her tremendous rise to massive fame as a young woman. She had it all…Beauty..exceptional talent.. fame..wealth..But when the life/work/fame balance gets out of kilter, and you start putting drugs into the mix, it's completely toxic. What a terrible tragic waste. So sad."
