Janis Winehouse has decided to talk to the press about how she’s afraid her daughter Amy’s reckless drug use and straight up stupidity is going to get her killed. From ThisisLondon:

She has witnessed Amy’s transformation from bright and affectionate little girl to teenage jazz and soul sensation to the deeply troubled star she is today.

Amy is 23. Her once shapely figure is now skeletal, her arms are covered in a criss-cross of scars after years of self-harming, while her addiction to drugs is running perilously out of control.

Last week she checked into a drugs rehabilitation centre after taking an overdose of substances said to include heroin, cocaine, ketamine and marijuana, only to emerge three days later to go drinking in the pubs near her Camden home.

Janis says: “My son Alex and I drove down to the hotel to see her the day after she had the ‘accident’.

“I thought I was prepared for what was to come but when we walked into her room, she looked terrible. She was lucky to be alive.

“Alex said to her, ‘You’re going to kill yourself. You’re not going to live to 25, you know that don’t you? Are you happy your life is like this?’

“She didn’t have an answer. She didn’t say anything, not a word. She was curled up on the bed and we told her she would have to go to rehab. She was saying, ‘No, no, no. I don’t want to go.’”

It’s quite a long article and worth the read if you’re an Amy Winehouse fan. Or if you just want to read a vibrant tale of self-destruction that puts Lindsay Lohan’s little kerfuffle to shame – especially since Winehouse has some actual talent.

Amy – it would be a shame to lose you when so many other music stars have gone down the same path to self-destruction. Here’s a tip: DITCH THE HUSBAND! He’s almost guaranteed to be the problem in all this. Blake needs to go. And for shit’s sake, stay in rehab for a while and cool off a bit. Good luck!
