Which British songstress of "Back to Black" died at the age of 27 in 2011?

The British songstress of "Back to Black" who died at 27 in 2011 was Amy Winehouse. She was born in London in 1983 and became known for her deep contralto voice, emotionally direct songwriting, and distinctive beehive hairstyle and eyeliner.

Winehouse released her debut album, "Frank," in 2003, but her international breakthrough came with "Back to Black" in 2006. The album blended soul, jazz, R&B, and pop, producing songs such as "Rehab," "You Know I'm No Good," and "Tears Dry on Their Own." It won five Grammy Awards and established her as one of the defining British musicians of the 2000s.

Winehouse was found dead at her Camden home on July 23, 2011. The official inquest determined that alcohol poisoning caused her death. Her age led to comparisons with artists associated with the so-called 27 Club, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain. A common mix-up is confusing the 2006 album "Back to Black" with the 2024 biographical film of the same name.
