The news of Amy Winehouse reminded me of Liam Maher, lead singer of Flowered Up and the video he made about his own heroin addiction. I'll let the video do the talking.
I remember seeing Flowered Up back in about 1990, Liam was on top form. Boy, was that bloke a natural born star. When he died in October 2009, I played this track by Spiritualised an awful lot. I have no idea why but it just seemed to fit.
Every life is precious, even those who fuck it up so spectacularly. Rest in peace Liam and Amy.
