Drug use damaging Winehouse's lungs: father

[Dusty Ayres]

LONDON -- Soul diva Amy Winehouse has damaged her lungs by smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes, her father said in an interview published Sunday. The Sunday Mirror quoted Mitch Winehouse as saying that Amy has an early stage emphysema and an irregular heartbeat, and has been warned that she will have to wear an oxygen mask unless she stops smoking drugs.
"The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her,'' Mitch Winehouse was quoted as saying. "There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She has 70 per cent lung capacity.''
Winehouse collapsed at her north London home Monday after signing autographs for a group of fans and was taken to a London hospital for tests. She remained there all week.

And to think that MTV tried to create a feud between her and Sharon Jones! The only problem is, Jones will live longer than Winehouse if this silly bitch doesn't get her ass together.

Just went to Wiki to look up her age...

She only 24?!

Mind you I don't feel sorry for her in the slightest, but damn... takes some real work to screw up your lungs that badly and that early.

 

[Ethros]

Sums it up

Just hurry up and OD already

 

[ITL]

What? You WANT her to OD? I'm no fan of hers and yes, she's a mess - but I wouldn't wish that on her.

 

[Kemaiku]

Ditto, shes less than a year older than me, but she looks twice as old LOL.

 

[Cutter John]

I don't wish anything hateful either. But damn! No sympathy whatsoever.

What's that saying? 'Maybe the only reason for you exist is to serve as a warning to others.' ?

 

[CaptainCanada]

Maybe she should have taken dad's advice and gone to rehab instead of turning it into a repulsive song.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

With a name like Winehouse what did ya expect?

I have sympathy for her though because I know self-made demons are no less real or easy to conquer than other adversity.

I'm with you, I'm no fan, but I don't wish any harm on her.
I don't feel sorry for her, I think she's an idiot, but as long as her "fans" are supporting her, I doubt she has any reason to clean up her act.

Emphysema at 24 is actually fecking impressive work, assuming it's just from the drug smoking not any other conditions.

 

[Sheep]

I hope she can regain her health and get her life together, but she's in a whole special league of stupid reserved for an elite few being able to do that much damage to herself at such a young age.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

They should use that picture above for the dictionary definition of skank.

 

[God Magnus]

I really hope she recovers and gets better. That said, she grosses me the heck out not only in her appearance, but her behavior.

Indeed.

 

[Captain Shaw]

God Emphysema at 24 i thought it was bad round here with exmines dieing of Emphysema in there 40s and 50s.
She should go and see someone with Emphysema so she knows whats she got to luck forward to if she does not get her self sorted.

 

[T'Baio]

I'm surprised people are surprised.

Anyone remember how quickly Jim Morrison went downhill?

He went from an immaculate young man to bearded, bloated, fat, looking like he was in his forties when he was only 27 and then dead in only four years.
