I am so happy for her recordings as we will forever get to hear a rare talent with a voice all her own. There will never be a tone or vocal delivery like Amy's. May her music and voice live forever." Janelle Monae, Grammy-nominated singer ___ "It's always unfortunate. An addiction is a very serious thing.
