Amy is in early stage of emphysema
Amy Winehouse will die unless she stops taking drugs.
Her father Mitch Winehouse reports the troubled singer is in the early stages of Emphysema, the chronic lung disease due to smoking crack cocaine.
Considering what he said there is doubt Amy will perform, nor attend at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday concert in Hyde Park this coming Friday. Nor she will be able to do the Glastonbury the following day.
Mitch Winehouse tells the UK’s Sunday Mirror:
With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity.
When we got to the hospital a room was ready. Several doctors came in and checked to make sure she didn’t need any emergency treatment. They put her on a drip straight away because she was dehydrated. She said, ‘Don’t worry about me, dad. I know I’ve got to stop taking drugs now.'”
Amy has got the early stage of emphysema but if she would get to hospital not last week but a month later the picture of her would be of an old person with a mask on her face and struggling to breath.
The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her.”
Mr. Winehouse has also expressed concern that the circles in which she moves could lead her back to drug abuse. He said:
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. What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her?”
Sad, but I think Amy will go back to drugs. Hopefully she will survive and manage her life to continue for a little longer. First of all, she needs to be taken away from her drug addicted friends and move to some sunny happy place like Cali… she could start hanging out with other English living there, like David and Victoria Beckham.

I fell head over heels in love with Amy first thing when I listened to “Back to Black.” And then saw the video of the song. She appears to sing so lightly, almost effortlessly.
I hope to God she doesn’t go back to drugs. She can join Narcotics Anonymous…. that would surely be a solution.
Thanks for the post and the related links :)
