Doctors have said that Amy Winehouse could be dead within three months after developing emphysema if she does not quit drugs. Amy was admitted to hospital after collapsing at her home last week and has been warned by doctors that she must quit drugs or face using a wheelchair and oxygen supplies to help her breathe as the deadly lung condition worsens.
Amy’s father Mitch has said that “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. The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her. It’s in its early stage but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there with a mask on her face struggling to breathe.”
For those of you who don’t know what Emphysema is it’s a disease that eats away at your lungs leaving sufferers breathless and frail.
Bit as we reported earier despite doctors warnings Amy is still determined to perform at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday concert in London’s Hyde Park on Friday and the Glastonbury music festival on Saturday. A special St John’s Ambulance crew will be on permanent standby for the star on Friday.
Do you think that her dad should step in and say no to her performing at these events?
I do not think that she will be able to cope well at these events at the weekend she needs help and does not need to be on stage.
If she does end up performing lets just hope it won’t be the last time.
