Check out the photos of Winehouse. I wouldn't underwrite a life insurance policy on her.

Yeah, every time I see Graham I think, "I thought he died?!". Especially when they made that library/memorial in Charlotte, NC. Thought it was cuz he died. He does look like Walking Death though, no offense to Graham's lovers and followers out there.
