She was 27 years old and is now formally a representative of the boys club who have died as Janis Joplin, Little Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain have reached this point. Hearing her death news, supporters left flowers outside her house, vacant cans and scrunched-up cigarettes. For the press and florists, too, it was another nice day. Surprisingly, nobody came to Amy Wear in complete-there was no beehive to be seen.
