Mitch Winehouse Sings While Amy Burns
Lately, the life of Amy Winehouse has been nothing more than a very slow trainwreck, and quite frankly if something drastic is not done and fast I do not believe she will last the year...if she does, I will be very surprised. However, one seemingly constant good and stabilizing influence in her life has been her father Mitch, who was by her side when she actually checked herself into rehab to clean up for the Grammys (and previous rehabbing attempts).
At the beginning, he tried and tried to get her clean, making statements such as this:
Her father Mitch Winehouse has admitted that he is terrified that she will fall into her old habits and is concerned she’ll be ‘dead in three months’. [For the record, this was at the end of June, and it is now the end of September, three months ago.]Amy collapsed at her North London home last week and was taken for tests at a London hospital by her 57-year-old father, who later said: ‘With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up.’
‘The only thing that can go into her lungs are fresh air. She faces a stark choice - either she sticks to it or she won’t sing again.’
‘To think this could be my beautiful 24-year-old daughter’s life is preposterous. But if drugs mean more to her than breathing properly, then so be it.
‘But the doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her,’ he said.
And this:
“She understands she has to change. All she wants to do now is to sing,” he added. [...]“I’m saying to those drug dealers, and they know who they are, if they are supplying crack to Amy, then they’ve got to take responsibility. I don’t want her hanging out with her mates like Pete Doherty either,” he said.
And this:
In an exclusive interview with the News of the World, he said: “I want her sectioned. The situation is getting out of control. I want her off the street.”Dismissing another stint in rehab, Mitch said: “I don’t think being somewhere for six weeks is going to cure her problems.
“I think it needs far more radical measures. We will take the bull by the horns and deal with it.” [...]
Mitch, 57, revealed: “I’ve been on the phone to Amy’s manager in Los Angeles and he’s starting things rolling. They are going to be speaking to doctors, psychologists and everything else.
