We all know what Amy Winehouse's dad, Mitch, thinks about all things related to his daughter. But what of her mother? Well, Janis Winehouse gave an interview to The Mirror yesterday and revealed that she stays up to date with her daughter's progress by watching TV, but fears that this could be the way that she finds out that Amy has died.
She said: "I reached the stage with Amy where I planned to ask her where she'd want to be buried. I was serious. The problem is that Amy is so high-profile. If I want an update on what state she's in at any given moment, I just have to turn on the television. Amy's problem is always in my face. There are a lot of people rooting for her. But I know I could turn on the TV and learn the worst".
However, she added that she thought Amy is now getting her life back together. She said: "I really don't think she's using [drugs] now. Being diagnosed with the early stages of emphysema was a real jolt to her. A bit of a wake-up call. Mind you, I think she does have the odd sneaky cigarette. Give her a break, she's not a miracle worker. In any case she's got a constant PA by her side, she needs a minder and he's a lovely person. Plus there's a security guard watching her. I think things are really beginning to take shape to the good. I hope one day Amy will be strong enough to be able to say publicly, 'Don't do what I did'".
