Around 100 people attended a private Jewish service for the 27-year-old singer who died at her home on Saturday. The mourners included Winehouse's producer Mark Ronson and television personality Kelly Osbourne. Her father, Mitch Winehouse, led the tributes to his daughter, calling her--his angel.
Sydney painter and philanthropist, Margaret Olley, will be given a state memorial service at the New South Wales Art Gallery next month. The 88-year-old died yesterday in her Sydney home. New South Wales Premier 2, Barry O'Farrell, says her family accepted the offer for the state memorial. The Lismore-born artist was an icon 3 in the Australian Arts community. Mr O'Farrell says Margaret Olley was a unique artist and a unique woman whose death is a great loss.
Australian music legend, Jimmy Barnes, has been forced to cancel upcoming solo shows after a health scare. The 55-year-old became ill on Tuesday and doctors now want him to rest for at least a month.
