London: Late British singer Amy Winehouse was cremated Tuesday after a memorial service was held in north London, world media reported.

The five-time Grammy award winner Winehouse died at the age of 27, the same age as musicians Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones and Kurt Cobain.

Winehouse, notorious for her drug and alcohol use, was found dead in her apartment Saturday. Her body was handed over to relatives after an autopsy, which failed to establish the cause of death. Results of further toxicology tests could take from two to four weeks.

“Goodnight my angel,” her father, Mitch Winehouse, said at the service. “Sleep tight. Mommy and Daddy love you ever so much.”

The service for Winehouse attended by music industry executives, her band mates, close friends and family was held at a synagogue at the Edgwarebury Cemetery. Winehouse was then cremated at the Golders Green crematorium.

Microsoft apologises over Amy Winehouse tweet: Bosses at computer giant Microsoft have apologised for urging followers to buy late Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” album through the retailer’s online store.

A representative for Xbox, owned by Microsoft, urged followers on micro-blogging site Twitter to make the purchase on the firm’s entertainment marketplace Zune, hours after the “Rehab” singer was discovered dead at her London home Saturday.

However, Microsoft executives have now insisted they had no intention of using the troubled star’s death as a marketing ploy. They posted an apology on Twitter, reports dailystar.co.uk.

“Apologies to everyone if our earlier Amy Winehouse ‘download’ tweet seemed purely commercially motivated. Far from the case, we assure you. With Amy W’s passing, the world has lost a huge talent. Our thoughts are with Amy’s family and friends at this very sad time,” they posted.

Winehouse’s Grammy Award-winning “Back to Black” record shot to the top of the iTunes charts with sales of the album increasing 37-fold when the world got to know about her tragic death.
