Singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in Camden, north London, at the age of 27, police have confirmed.
Officers were called by the ambulance service to an address in NW1 just after 4pm today.
On arrival, officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene," a police statement said.
Her death is being treated as unexplained and inquiries are continuing into the circumstances, it added.
The Back To Black artist had cancelled all tour dates and engagements last month after a series of erratic public appearances.
Her final show was in Belgrade in June where she was jeered by fans after a shambolic performance.
She had appeared briefly on stage with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield on Wednesday night.
She had been troubled by drink and drugs problems throughout her career.
Tributes to the singer have been posted on Twitter. Sarah Brown, the wife of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown said her death was a "terrible waste of a great talent."
Kelly Osbourne tweeted that she had "just lost 1 of my best friends" and fellow singer Lily Allen said Amy Winehouse's death was "beyond sad."Producer Mark Ronson, who had worked closely with Amy Winehouse said she was "his musical soulmate."
Her record label, Universal, paid tribute to the star:
"We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer."
I think she looks pretty with the straight hair look. I love hearing her sing she is just so soulful. I wish she could have did a duet with Christina Aguileria or Adele before she passed.
