Amy Winehouse ignores doctors

Friday, 20 June 2008

Amy Winehouse refuses to stop working despite being told to rest.

The Back to Black singer underwent medical scans and tests in a London hospital on Thursday, three days after she collapsed at home.
The troubled star fainted on Monday and tests to determine why she collapsed have so far proved inconclusive, but on Tuesday she was allegedly warned by doctors that she had to rest and stop taking drugs or she will die.

Her family are reportedly set to do "whatever it takes" to get Amy clean and she may even be detained without her permission.

This is not the first time the 24-year-old has collapsed. Last summer she collapsed after a massive drugs overdose and her health problems - including an irregular heartbeat - are believed to have stemmed from that.

A source told The Sun: "She will be in there for a while if her family get their way."

Her spokesperson has told the press: "Amy has undergone more scans and tests and we are awaiting the verdict of her doctors."

He also claimed Winehouse is still on course to perform at a concert marking Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday on 27 June, and at Glastonbury the next day.

He added: "At present, she still intends to perform at the two scheduled dates next week. However, a decision will be made entirely upon the advice of her doctors and in her best interests."
