There are new fears for the safety of Amy Winehouse after it was alleged that she recently suffered two major overdoses and may now have brain damage. The Sun reports that the singer's first overdose was in August last year after taking cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, ketamine and crystal meth. The second came in July, after smoking an "inhuman" amount of marijuana over a 36 hour period. This second overdose, the paper reports, is the real reason Amy was rushed to hospital in July, rather than the "adverse reaction" to drug treatment claimed at the time.
A 'friend' said: "The future is bleak, bleak, bleak. Mitch does everything he can to protect his daughter - but his 'explanation' for Amy's hospital dash in July was just simply untrue. She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a shitload of pot to suffer that severe a reaction. It's thought she had been smoking it for 36 hours. Amy's fits were as bad as the convulsions she had during her overdose in August last year. No one has mentioned her meth use before - but that stuff is truly nasty. She is in need of years of psychiatry and medical treatment if she has a hope".
As reported yesterday, Winehouse is currently facing legal action from a festival in France after she pulled out her headline performance at short notice on Friday. She is due to headline Bestival this Saturday. Place your bets now.
