It has been reported that Amy Winehouse has been coughing up blood and has a very bad chest infection. It’s said that the doctors are very worried that Amy could have the symptoms of tuberculosis. It’s reported that Amy has an irregular heartbeat and has been on a drip while medics try to wean her off hard drugs. A close friend of Amy said that “Amy is in a bad way. Doctors are still struggling to control her heartbeat but the chest condition has been really worrying them. She’d been suffering horrible coughing fits and hurling up blood for a while but refused to be examined. Doctors now believe it is tuberculosis and are doing more tests to be certain.”
The source said that “Things sound really bad, but at least now they have found something specific it will be easier to keep her in hospital and free from drugs. The word tuberculosis might frighten her into getting herself well. It certainly should do. She needs to realise she will die if she doesn’t clean up her act.”
So the question is will Amy be singing at Glastonbury and Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday party in Hyde Park at the end of the month.
For those of you who do not know much about TB it usually strikes in developing countries where, if untreated, it kills more than half its victims.
We hope that Amy will let the doctors help her before it’s too late.
