Courtney Love shared her thoughts on the tragic death of Amy Winehouse with Rolling Stone.

“I’m not even going to say, ‘Waste of glorious sublime talent,’ which I feel,” Love said of the 27-year-old singer. “I’m fu**ing gutted. I tried with her, I tried twice.”

Amy Winehouse was found dead at her home in London on July 23.  It’s believed Winehouse’s death was due to a suspected drug overdose.  A source has said that that she was seen buying substances, believed to be cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and ketamine leading up to the hours before her death

Love knows what it’s like to battle addiction – her private life and personal struggles have been an open book, most notably the 1994 suicide of her husband, Kurt Cobain who was also 27 when he died.

“We are sensitive, and people around us take advantage of that. It is fucking pain every day and every night.”

Love battled her addictions, eventually losing custody of her daughter Frances Bean.

Courtney, 46 said: “I promised I would not shoot heroin repeatedly, and I haven’t, besides as an incident in July 2005, where I shot myself up above intention to kill myself.”

Courtney Love bullied her own daughter Frances Bean Cobain on Facebook back in 2009 after losing custody of her. At the time Cobain was 17 years old and wanted to live with her grandmother instead of her mother.   Love then posted a rant on Facebook following the judge’s decision to let Cobain live with her grandmother.

Love’s “heroin screenplay” addiction began during a party at Charlie Sheen’s house.

In May 2011, Love made public statements that she was “tired” of her reputation as a drug addict.

“I’ve been maligned as this drug freak for years, and I’m getting tired of it. That’s not the way I live anymore. I try to work a good program. I don’t do smack. I don’t do crack anymore.”

Sadly, Winehouse joins the “27 club” of musicians who died at the age of 27 – Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Brian Jones.
