It has been revealed that Amy Winehouse is suffering from emphysema, a potentially fatal lung condition usually caused by heavy smoking and drug taking.
The troubled singer was rushed to hospital last week after collapsing in her home. She is now receiving treatment at a clinic in London. Doctors have warned that if Winehouse doesn't stop taking drugs, she may not only lose her voice but also her life.
Amy's father is desperate for his daughter to stay clean after leaving hosptial, and has pleaded with suppliers and drug taking friends - including Pete Doherty, to keep away.
He told Sunday Mirror, "I'm saying to those drug dealers, and they know who they are, if they are supplying crack to Amy, then they've got to take responsibility. I don't want her hanging out with her mates like Pete Doherty either.
"What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her? Already Amy says she feels better and wants to leave hospital and that worries me."
Amy has already been to rehab twice, but both attempts were unsuccessful.
