（单词翻译）

 Family and friends of Amy Winehouse have paid their last respects to the British singer at her funeral and cremation1 in London. 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 Premier2, Barry O'Farrell, says her family accepted the offer for the state memorial. The Lismore-born artist was an icon3 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. Barnes was expected to perform at the Darwin Cup Ball this weekend, but his son David Campbell will take to the stage instead. He is expected to make a full recovery in time to begin rehearsals4 with Cold Chisel5 for their October reunion tour.
