I don't care. I just hope I don't have to hear about it as long as Michael Jackson.

Tragic I hate to here stuff like that from a gifted person.

Tragic, but that's the path for a lot of stars.

... well, when people pass, you remember them how you want to remember them ...

... never could figure out why she wasn't asked to sing the National Anthem more often ...

I agree. If she "was" an illegal drug addict and went to a "legal" drug addict, she is still an addict. Terrible disease and a terrible life for all involved. She was very talented and drugs destroyed her, very sad. Doesn't put her on a pedestal to me.

Very sad to see someone waste their gift for drugs. She choose drugs over here daughter her family. It's just a dam shame. Money might not be able to buy happiness but it can kill ya.

Agreed and I would also like to hear less about Elvis on his death anniversary date. Birthdate. How long has this guy been dead? Really. About 35 yrs now. He has a postage stamp. He, a drug addict , was given a USA postage stamp. Then again, Bille Holiday was also given a USA postage stamp.
