Amy is back to rehab before the Grammys
Amy Winehouse has checked herself into a rehabilitation clinic for the second time . A video has been recently posted online where she can be seen supposedly smoking crack raising concerns about her musical future when she just earned 6 Grammy Nominations.
"Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors.She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction and prepare for her planned appearance at the Grammy Awards (on Feb 10 in LA)", Universal Records said in a statement, adding that she had cancelled a planned appearance at the NRJ awards in France on Saturday.
She became famous with her hit single Rehab where she says : "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, no, no, no".
Amy Winehouse who is 24 years old, has fought an increasingly public battle against drink and drug addiction. Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, is currently awaiting trial on assault and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice charges.
She is also due in court in Bergen, Norway, on February 29 after being arrested and fined for drug use and possession of marijuana.
Numerous rappers have shown their love for her music mixing the 80’s sound with her soulfull voice. Jay-Z and Ghostface Killah appeared on remixes when her album debuted in the US.
Mary J Blige who went through drug addiction in the past also showed some love for the british singer : "Someone like Amy Winehouse is so important to the music business right now. It’s very painful (to see her battle drugs). I hope she makes it. I think it (the music industry) kind of got lost and we ended up in a drought for a while, but I see it making a turn, so instead of music being just synthetic, we’ll see it going back to actual instruments. That’s what I’m hoping for anyway."
