Winehouse senior glad at daughter's rest decision

Amy Winehouse's dad has said that his daughter is "sorry for fans" after the announcement earlier this week that she was cancelling all scheduled gigs and personal appearances on medical grounds. Speaking to Radio 1's Newsbeat, Mitch Winehouse said that the decision to cancel the tour was "in her best interests". Asked if she would now receive treatment in a rehab facility he said "all options" were being considered regarding helping Winehouse getting over her recent personal troubles. Despite continued criticism from ticket holders at some of Winehouse's more shambolic recent gigs, public opinion seems generally supportive of the singer's decision to step back and try and get her life back together. As previously reported, Winehouse has been a bit of a mess of late as she tries to battle drug addiction and come to terms with husband Blake Fielder Civil being jailed over allegations of perverting the cause of justice.
