Amy Winehouse left trove of unreleased music
LONDON — Amy Winehouse left a trove of unreleased music, but no decision has been made about whether it will be released, people close to the singer say.
The soul diva, who had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead of unknown causes at her London home on Saturday. She was 27.
Spokesman Chris Goodman said Thursday that Winehouse left behind “plenty” of material, but there have been no discussions yet about releasing anything.
It’s not clear how finished the tracks are. Winehouse released only two albums in her lifetime, but had been in the studio sporadically over the past few years. I

Well, lucky us, Morrissey decided to let loose with something pretty horrible.
So what did he do? Well, the notoriously pro-animal rights singer decided to make a comparison to the consumption of animals to the recent terror-related massacre and deaths that took place in Norway earlier this month, according to The AV Club:
So said Morrissey during a recent concert in Warsaw, where he introduced his famous anti-carnivore classic by musing, “We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 dead [sic]. Though that is noth

Colombian Salsa Singer Arroyo Dies
Famed Colombian singer Joe Arroyo, composer of such salsa classics as “La Rebelion” and “Echao pa’lante” and “Tania,” died Tuesday after a monthlong hospitalization. He was 55.
The singer, whose given name was Alvaro Jose Arroyo, died at a hospital in Barranquilla, where he was being treated for hypertension and fluid in his lungs, his manager, Luis Ojeda, told The Associated Press.
Arroyo composed some 200 songs and performed with artists including Celia Cruz and Shakira.
