British singer Amy Winehouse’s erratic and destructive lifestyle may have cost her her singing career.
On Saturday, Oct 25, the “Rehab” singer was admitted to hospital for suspected return attack of the debilitating lung disease emphysema which she developed and was treated for in June this year, reports said.
One of the reports said friends feared that the singer had damaged her voice through her drug-fuelled partying and may never record another album.
Record bosses allegedly claim work on the follow-up to Amy’s award-winning “Back To Black” LP is “going slower than hoped” because of her health problems.
MEANWHILE, the Associated Press reported that a British couple who sold video footage of singer Amy Winehouse apparently smoking crack to a newspaper have pleaded guilty to drug charges.
Johnny Blagrove and Cara Burton admitted in court yesterday they offered to supply drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, to Winehouse. The rest of the report says:
Prosecutors say the pair covertly filmed Winehouse and sold the footage to The Sun newspaper. In January the paper published the images, which appeared to show the singer smoking crack cocaine.
Detectives decided there was not enough evidence to charge Winehouse but they charged the couple.
Prosecutor Sean Larkin says police who raided the couple’s home found a list of celebrities they supplied with drugs, including Winehouse.
A judge ordered the couple to return on Nov 28 for sentencing. — AP
