Musicians ranging from rock, rap and pop immediately began to mourn publicly, as well as share their remembrances of the soul-tinged singer, via Twitter and on their official sites.

At U2's Minneapolis show Saturday, Bono and the boys dedicated their 2001 single "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" -- a song originally penned with deceased INXS singer Michael Hutchence in mind -- to Amy. "We wrote this next song for Michael Hutchence, but you will understand tonight if we play it for Amy Winehouse," Bono told the crowd. Watch below.

 

 

Hours after the death of Amy Winehouse was announced, M.I.A. posted "27," a demo dedicated to the 27-year-old deceased singer, on her Twitter page.

A fan of Amy Winehouse's music for some time, Prince honored the late songstress by covering "Love is a Losing Game" with Cameroon singer Andy Allo.

"Someone very special passed away," UK singer Ellie Goulding told an Atlanta crowd on Saturday before launching into her signature cover of Elton John's "Your Song." "She was one of my inspirations -- and a big inspiration for many other singers, I think." Watch below.

 

 

On Sunday, Outkast rapper Big Boi posted a remix to Winehouse's track "Tears Dry on Their Own" on his official website.
