Amy Winehouse is back in the news this morning because the Sun has recently filmed footage of her on a big drugs binge, mixing some crack with garden variety cocaine, ecstasy and valium. Quite a party.
But let's go with a positive Amy story shall we? Mary J Blige has said some really nice things about her in a new interview in, er, Interview magazine. Talking to Stevie Nicks, Blige said: "Someone like Amy Winehouse is so important to the music business right now. It's very painful [to watch her struggle with drug addiction]. I hope she makes it".
On a more general note, she continued: "I think [the music industry] kind of got lost and we ended up in a drought for a while, but I see it making a turn, so instead of music being just synthetic, we'll see it going back to actual instruments. That's what I'm hoping for anyway, because that's the kind of music I'm making".
