OlderAmy Winehouse Battling Emphysema
Amy Winehouse has early stage emphysema as a result of smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes and may need an oxygen mask to breathe if she cannot stop, her father told The Sunday Mirror, in an interview.
“She’s got emphysema - it’s in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe,” her father, Mitch Winehouse said.
Mitch also told of his fears as Amy underwent tests after a mystery lump was found on her chest during scans at private London hospital The Clinic.
He said, “After lots of tests they found a lump in Amy’s chest. A scan has shown it’s not cancerous and there are no traces of cancer in her blood. But they might need to double check.
Amy, 24, is still scheduled to sing at a concert in London on Friday celebrating the 90th birthday of Nelson Mandela, the South African Nobel Prize-winner, and plans to take part in the Glastonbury music festival the following day.

Bejeezus @ 06/23/2008 at 9:50 am Hope she rolls over and dies soon.

I will never get human beings such as yourself. What you said can be about not much more than a desire for attention (which you’ve gotten obviously). To freely wish death “the end of life/living” on another makes me always wonder how one was reared when I read things like this. I can’t imagine a great amount of love existed or was shown in childhood and in adulthood it’s reflected in statements like “Hope she rolls over and dies soon.” Sad.

hey, Bejeezus, you have fantastic taste in names but can you pick a different one please? i have had this one for quite a while now and i’m occasionally mean….but not the type to wish death on celebs.
Amy’s parents have been great in the past just as they’ve been supportive of her in the present and the negative assumptions made about them are just that, assumptions. People just toss out there as truth what they think they know based on nothingmore than tab stories added to conjecture and that’s enough info needed for them to justify how they choosen to see things.

She won’t get better unless she wants to get better. Don’t be surprise if she’s found dead sometime soon.
I hope she gets the right treatment now and get well. It’s so hurtful to see someone talented going down like that. I wish her all the best in the world… escpecially self-confidence and strength.
She also needs to dump this man of hers. He’s bad influences on her.
I also have to admitt, that I sometimes hate the press for being so damn into any celeb there is and telling made up stories and lies. I know some famous people and it even hurts me to sometimes read that s**t.
Get well, Amy!
I hope she gets better soon…although it wouldn’t be surprising if she passed away real soon.
I don’t think there’s any “get better soon” with emphysema, however, I hope she will put down the cancer sticks along with anyone else reading this, as well as the crack pipe. Her eating disorder probably drastically weakened her body and immune system as well and I really hope she gets treatment and cherishes each day at a time.
don’t be surprise if shes found dead sometime soon. [2]
well, she deserved it, honestly.
( and gosh, what a background is that? the guy on the left looks like a duck.)
oh amy : /
is it possible that all great singers die too son?
hopefully she gets better soon! best singer EVER :’)
This is really too bad. The woman is so talented. I hope she can conquer her addictions b/f it is too late.
Wishing her all the best, and hopefully this time, she realizes the seriousness of the situation and will finally change her life and stop all this unhealthy behavior, your body can take only so much, and at her age, she should be full of life and energy. it’s just so sad if somebody with so much talent and potential lets it all go to waste.
If you have a second to spare, I’d like to invite you to my new blog http://www.sunnykidstyle.com about stylish design for kids :):)
this girl is crazy! she needs to go to rehab asap. she has an amazin vioce and if she wont stop she will neva b able to sing agian! omg Amiee dont do this to yourself!!
Hope she improves her physical, psychological, and emotional health soon. Just like Whitney Houston, a waste of gifted talent though she is even younger.
40th!!! I agree with number # 30.. Only she can make herself better. Believe me, we will be reading her obits. very soon. Or we will see her pulling around her portable oxygen tank hooked up to her nose around town. How sad, that anyone, not just her, can fall to this by something so nasty and smelly like nicotine sticks and drugs. She has been offered help so many times but leaves rehab time after time. That in itself, says that she does not care about herself or others around her. If she did, she would have to stay for months and months to even start to get better after what she has done to her body. I feel sorry for her and her family. They have a long and hard sad road ahead of them.
why are we supporting this woman’s path of self destruction? is it her reckless lifestyle that has made her a star? i can’t get past her bony bruised/scabbed body & disgusting teeth from her years of bulimia, smoking crack & cutting herself. she lives in a crack den, can’t even get through a performance (she pees on herself, passes out, slurs her words, shows up late or doesn’t show up at all). people should have united to stop promoting her music & booking her for shows until she gets better. she is making everybody money so they prop her up & let her make a fool of herself & then they collect their fee. it isn’t fair to her fans & it isn’t fair to her. also, if she is doing shows she makes money & can buy more drugs. as long as she has money to buy drugs she isn’t going to get off the crack. she needs to hit rock bottom & hopefully this is it. it is just so sad. i am glad she has a lot of fans who will all be there if she chooses to get better. her condition is far beyond the - who cares what she does w/ her life she is a talented artist & judge her on that. we shouldn’t be handing out grammys to artists that publicly, w/o a second thought, display their unhealthy lifestyle & have a total disregard for themselves to the level of amy winehouse. it is like patting her on the back saying what she is doing to herself is okay. her life is more important than her music.
Nobody deserves to die.
My goodness, what kind of people sitting in front of the monitor lately?! And we are worried about terrorism? With these kind of posters, terrorism is the last thing we have to be worried about!
Get better soon, Amy!

God, why is that b**** still smoking?

Maybe some of those saying she got what she deserved were right
“[Amy Winehouse] is not diagnosed with full-blown emphysema, but instead has early signs of what could lead to emphysema,” Tracey Miller, her U.S.-based representative, said on Monday.
God, she must truly not value her life
Acredito quer Amy está sendo estraçalhada por legiões de demonios.
Ela precisa frequentar a igreja universal e ser liberta antes que seja tarde demais..pois ela está completamente posseça
Ela pode ter sido vitima de magia negra ou ate mesma feita sido autora rituais com a propria vida para conseguir o que queria.
