A statement from the Metropolitan Police confirmed they had received a call at 4.05pm on Saturday concerning the possible death of a woman at a flat in Camden Square. "On arrival, officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene," the statement said. "Inquiries continue into the circumstances of death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

After the news broke early on Saturday evening, crowds began gathering near Amy's home as fans arrived to pay their respects. Police cordoned off a section of road outside the Camden flat and forensic investigators were seen entering the home.

The Back To Black star has long battled addictions with drink and drugs and most recently made the news after an erratic performance in Belgrade.

Earlier today, before the tragedy took place, her management team released a press release announcing she was pulling out of all gigs: “Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances.  Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen.”

Following her death, Amy's label, Universal, released a statement paying tribute to the superstar: “We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer. Our prayers go out to Amy’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time.”

The star's last public appearance was at her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield's gig at The Roundhouse in Camden on Wednesday. Although she didn't sing, Amy danced on stage and encouraged the audience to buy Dionne's album.

Our thoughts go out to Amy’s family and friends.
