July 23rd marks Amy Winehouse's second death anniversary. She died at the age of 27 due to alcohol poisoning in 2011. In contemporary music history, the number 27 has become an unlucky number for musicians who died at that tender age, mostly with alcohol or drug overdose.

The world saw Winehouse's battle with drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, she died at the time when she was already struggling to make herself clean, preparing for her eventual to her once successful music career.

UK's Daily Mail reported that the singer had been drinking again after two weeks of sobriety. Dr. Christina Romete, her attending doctor, had reminded Amy her binge drinking habit was putting Winehouse in "immediate danger of death" and persuaded her to consider therapy.

On Saturday, July 23rd, Winehouse's bodyguard Andrew Morris found the singer dead on her bed with empty vodka bottles around her. She was the latest music star who has joined other iconic musicians who coincidentally died at that particular age.

Did Winehouse really know she'd become part of the 27 club? Her friends have confirmed that the singer predicted that she would eventually end up joining the club.

At age 27, she was already sick of her career due to loneliness, alcohol and drug abuse. Her last concert in Belgrade proved that the singer was unable or unwilling to sing and was booed by the audience.

The "Rehab" singer was already showing signs of restlessness and an unnormal behaviour a few days before he death. The singer had been looking for her family photographs, she had been calling and texting her friends but did not reply to her boyfriend Reg Traviss' text messages.

She had suffered personality disorder and low self-esteem, which could be traced back to her childhood. Like some of the other members of the 27 club, childhood issues had been the root of their depression and destructive personalities.

Kurt Cobain, Nirvana lead singer, blamed his parents' divorce 'when his life went wrong'. Winehouse's parents also separated when she was young. Her abuse of alcohol was also similar to another troubled female rock star, Janis Joplin, who used to drink glasses of tequila during her concerts.

Winehouse admitted in 2008 that she didn't really want what was happening to her and just wanted to make music with her friends. It seems that drugs and alcohol had completely taken over her life.

Meanwhile, a South London street artist named Miss Bugs, did a portrait of Amy Winehouse made from prescription drugs.

The guerilla artist's spokesperson said, "We wanted to do a piece of Amy Winehouse around the time that she died, although we didn't feel it was right at that moment.

"The capsules symbolise the troubled and destructive side of Amy.

"However these are small things, it's her overall beauty, colour and complexity that we remember from afar, and which we've tried to show in the pattern work in the resin that makes up the whole piece."

The artwork is titled Stronger Than Them based from Winehouse's song Stronger Than Me from her first album Frank.

Apart from her death anniversary, the singer's family, friends and fans have been putting up exhibitions to prepare for her coming birthday this September.
