We often refer to senior citizens as being in their ‘golden years,’ but Tony Bennett is taking it to a whole new level. In fact, before long, he could be in his platinum years.
At the age of 87, the veteran singer is still reaching new levels of success, breaking a pair of Billboard records with the first single from his ‘Duets II’ album.
Just days after the tragic death of singer Amy Winehouse, the family of the 27-year-old Grammy winner now claim that she may have died from alcohol withdrawal.
According to family sources, Winehouse ignored her doctors request to cut back on drinking gradually, and that her 4’11″ figure couldn’t handle such a dramatic change.
In the hours following Saturday’s death of British pop singer Amy Winehouse, sales of her albums surged — pushing her 2007 Grammy-winning album ‘Back to Black’ to the top of the iTunes charts in the US, UK, France, and Germany.
UK’s Official Charts company, which tracks downloads and disc sales, reports a 3700 percent increase in the sales of Winehouse’s albums. “We would expect an even bigger impact to roll through over the coming days,” said Official Charts managing director Martin Talbot.
