Amy Winehouse canceled her entire European tour this summer. "Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen", said representatives of the British artist, in a message to all fans of Amy Winehouse countries where she was expected to perform in the summer of 2011.

Amy Winehouse was later found dead on 23 July 2011, at her home in London. Police have said that the cause of her death is "as yet unexplained" and that the death was "non-suspicious". Winehouse's family and friends attended her funeral on 26 July 2011. In August 2011 her album Back to Black became the UK's best selling album of the 21st century.
