Amy Winehouse $4.66 Million Estate Her Parents

Amy Winehouse $4.66 Million Estate Her Parents, The late Amy Winehouse’s $4.66 million estate will go entirely to her parents, it was reported Wednesday.  The UK Sun reports that probate documents show that the Back to Black singer left a fortune worth an estimated £4,257,580, but after all of her debts and taxes were paid, just £2,944,554, or around $4.66 million, were left in her estate.

According to The Associated Press, Mitch Winehouse, the singer’s father, is listed as the administrator of her estate.

Blake Fielder-Civil will get nothing from Winehouse’s estate. The two were married and divorced in 2009. E! News reports that Fielder-Civil is actually still in prison after he was convicted for a burglary to pay for his drug addiction.

However, a friend of Winehouse told the Sun that something would probably be left for Fielder-Civil, claiming that she still loved him. “Had she made a will, Blake may have well been left something…not cash, perhaps an investment. Amy still loved him when she died. The way things are, Mitch and Janis have been handed the estate,” the friend said, adding that Winehouse likely had “no idea” how much money she had.

Winehouse died at the age of 27 on July 23, 2011. She was discovered in her London home and an investigation found that she died of accidental alcohol poisoning. Winehouse’s debut album was called Frank, which she released in 2003. She won Grammys for her 2006 album, Back to Black, but never released another album in her lifetime. Unreleased recordings were used to release Lioness: Hidden Treasures last December.

Rehab Amy Winehouse

Rehab Amy Winehouse, “Rehab” is a song by English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse. It was released on 23 October 2006 as the first single from her second studio album Back to Black. It was written by Winehouse and produced by Mark Ronson. The lyrics are autobiographical, and talk about Winehouse’s refusal to enter a rehabilitation clinic. It peaked at number 7 in the United Kingdom on the UK Singles Chart and number 9 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100.

It has since become a critical and commercial success internationally, and has been referred to as Amy Winehouse’s “signature song”. It won three Grammy Awards in 2008, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and was nominated for two more Grammy Awards. It also won a Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song. Winehouse’s subsequent public battle with drug and alcohol addiction has resulted in some of the song’s popularity and appearance in the media. The song has been covered by a list of artists. Two remixes featuring American rappers Jay-Z and Pharoahe Monch were released in 2008. A further remix by the electronic band Hot Chip was released in the United Kingdom.

Famous Who Died Young

Famous Who Died Young, It’s as common in Hollywood as the rags-to-riches tale: stories of stars who died young.

Actor Heath Ledger, who died Jan. 22 in New York, and Brad Renfro, who died just one week earlier, join the ranks of artists, actors and musicians who died before their 30th birthdays, often during the prime of their careers.

Heath Ledger, 28

Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment Jan. 22, surrounded by bottles of prescription drugs. An initial autopsy was inconclusive, and a medical examiner said further tests would be needed to determine Ledger’s cause of death. The actor, recently separated from actress Michelle Williams, his former fiance and mother of his 2-year-old daughter, is expected to be remembered as one of best of his generation. He got an Oscar nomination for playing a gay cowboy in “Brokeback Mountain” and is slated to appear as the Joker in the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight,” this summer..

Brad Renfro, 25

Renfro made his acting debut in 1994 at age 11, playing the title role in “The Client” alongside Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. He went to on star with Brad Pitt, Robert DeNiro, Kevin Bacon and Dustin Hoffman in the 1996 film “Sleepers.” Renfro quickly became a teen heartthrob, and his acting talents had critics thinking he’d last in Hollywood. But legal troubles and struggles with drugs and alcohol hindered his prospects.

In December 2005, Renfro was arrested during an undercover drug sweep in Los Angeles and charged with attempted possession of heroin. He later admitted to having used heroin and methadone and was sentenced to three years’ probation. Renfro went to rehab in 2006, but in 2007 he violated his probation by not enrolling in a long-term drug treatment program, People magazine reported. He was found dead in a Los Angeles apartment Jan. 15 after a night of drinking, according to the Los Angeles county coroner. An official cause of death has yet to be determined.

Aaliyah, 22

Aaliyah Dana Haughton, known simply as Aaliyah by hip-hop and R&B fans, was one of the industry’s most promising female stars. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., she appeared on “Star Search” at age 10 and performed with Gladys Knight at age 11. But it was her debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number,” that got the attention of hip-hop heavyweights. The album went platinum within months.

R. Kelly, the singer who helped write and produce Aaliyah’s album, married the 14-year-old singer. (He was 27 at the time.) Vibe magazine published a copy of their Illinois marriage license, dated Aug. 31, 1994, which showed the starlet’s age had been listed as 18. Their marriage was annulled in February 1995. Aaliyah went on to release “One in a Million” at age 17, which was certified double-platinum within a year. She followed that up with “Aaliyah” in July 2001, after landing her first major film role in 2000’s “Romeo Must Die.” One month later, shortly after wrapping production of her music video for the single “Rock the Boat” in the Bahamas, Aaliyah and members of her record company boarded a small plane to fly back to the United States. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, and all aboard were killed.
