Always very sad when someone dies so young; although I was never a great fan, there is no doubt she was an extremely talented lady who had a wonderful voice.
She had a somewhat troubled life at times, something not reserved just for the rich and famous. A number of years ago I had a niece die through alcoholism, so I have sympathy for anyone who struggles with addiction, and for those who love them.
My sympathy tonight will be for her loved ones, especially her young daughter.
