Amy Winehouse May Die!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Amy Winehouse

wenn1914854.jpg

The Wino is still in the hospital and she has just been diagnosed with emphysema.

Pretty serious stuff!

Amy's dad, Mitch Winehouse, spoke to journalists about the severity of her diagnosis.

He says, "The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her. The doctors have said that if she had continued the way she was going she could have ended up an invalid — she wouldn't have been able to breathe. She's got emphysema. It's in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe. With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes, her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70 percent lung capacity. If she doesn't go back to drugs, then she can lead this magnificent life. We are praying that that's what Amy really wants. She seems resolute."

Pray hard, Poppa Mitch.

Pray hard!

      How much has she been smoking to have emphysema at such a young age? My grandfather has emphysema but he's 70 and used to smoke 2-3 packs a day for over 40 years. Unfortunately there is no cure and your lung capacity will keep diminishing over time. Such a shame

      I want her to beat it and then write FANTASTIC music about her struggles. AMY WINEHOUSE, come back! :(

      35

      Yea I was right! Within a year she will be dead. The extent of abuse to her young precious body is rediculously sad-but she did it! I don't ever see that idiot quiting drugs in fact this just might make them do it harder. As someone else put it- what a waste of skin! Hopefully she will pass soon. With that shit husband of hers they will both be back on the drugs. Idiots!

      silly how people think addiction is so easy to get over… It's called an addiction for a reason… Most people don't over addictions just like that. It takes a lot of stuff to happen in their life for them to finally decide that they want to get over it… I mean, if bad shit didn't happen while being addicted to drugs, what would be the point of quitting? Hopefully this is the wake up call Amy needs, and she'll stop.

      Now she will either decide to live life the healthy way OR she'll decide to go all the way with the drugs and OD…i'm afraid she could prefer that rather than a life as bad as it gets for people with this horrible disease…:(
      ps:PLEASE Amy choose life…even if it won't be perfect…it's not perfect for anyone.

      She will jus have to choose how fast she wants to go. Hopefully her demons arent too strong and she will be able to fight those addictions. It will be the hardest thing she has had to do I bet.

      My prediction is that Amy will continue to smoke drugs and cigarettes and die of a drug overdose within the year. She's had her chance to be England's national treasure, and she's largely blown it (or smoked it). I have no more patience for this woman who has an enormous gift. I've gone from thinking "If I had a fantasy dinner party, she'd be one of the guests" to "She is a total embarrassment for the UK" in one short year. Sad, but true.

      I got this off of yahoo news earlier this morning. I guess it depends on what she is "resolute" about. Is she resolute about kicking her addiction or is she "resolute" about going back to drugs? She has to want to quit. It's a shame that the music industry may well lose an up and coming talent to drugs. Hopefully the doctors managed to scare her straight and her parents gain some control of her situation. Tough love. Maybe they can manage to keep her in the hospital long enough to detox.

      I watched my Dad die of emphysema and it is not pretty. Before you die, on average you will spend approximately 24 months hauling around an oxygen tank. My dad used to say it was like "breathing through a straw"…."No, no, no, Amy."

      Sadly I don't think Amy cares enough about herself to help herself. She seems to have a lot of self hate issues and I don't know what can be done about that. I don't see her as willing to see a psychologist or anything and thats what she really needs. The ugly tattoos, self abuse, drugs, eating disorders ect all scream self loathing.

      I've got news for those of you who smoke….you can ge emphysema after only 2 years of daily smoking. Christy Turlington already has it and Carol Burnett's daughter died of lung cancer caused by smoking when she was only 35. People who smoke are just begging for cancer. Stop it now!

I once sat on an airplane next to someone with emphesyma - it was the worst ride of my life - SO NASTY wheezing & coughing non stop! it's like this old person who's smoked their whole life disease. Amy Winehouse, as if she needed anything else to make her even more disgusting than she already is. Puke.

      having said that, I don't want to die. I hope she doesn't either. Her choice. Sadly, she's not capable of making that choice. I'm sure she doesn't want to, but unless someone convenes, SOMEONE, yep that will be it and the whole world will be fucked up about it. Just like with Heath.

      72

      That is INSANE!!! She is only 23 years old or something like that. INSANE!!!!! This has got to be a wake up call to her. Unfortunately though, heroin isn't the sort of drug you just stop taking, and unfortunately neither is crack. As much as we all giggle at her, she has a long long road ahead of her.
      (or not so long if she doesn't stop!) I'm suprised that she doesn't have AIDS or Hep C. So sad when someone this young with so much promise wastes it on drugs. x

      This is truly saddening! Her parents and family need to have her committed until she can get through her drug dependency. All you have to do is look at her. She literally looks like she is very close to death. I don't think this is funny or anything to take lightly. She is an amazing musician and is crying out for help with her drug abuse, etc. I hope she makes it! If she doesn't…she will die. :(

      Mario, I don't know why you, of all people, are saying "pray". Nor do I understand why anyone who has bashed this girl is showing any sympathy. This is what those of you, including Mario, wanted. You have been so cruel and bloodthirsty for the demise of this girl. This poor creature is her own worst enemy. I am not a fan of hers, nor do I, in anyway, condone what she has done, however, she is a fellow human being and it has been sickening what people, again including Mario, have wished upon her. So, from what I've read on this site, the majority of you should be rapturous at this tragic news. It's everything you wished for Amy. Shame on you.

      Re: Moonmoth – What a shame that someone's slow, agonizing death inconvenienced you. God what a jerk you are. I take it that when God decides your time has come, that you already know that it will be just dying in your sleep and that it will be quick and you will be beautiful like a princess going to sleep in a fairytale, with no suffering or fear. That's not usually the way of death. I sincerely hope it is quick and painless when the time comes, but if it is not, I hope you are around people more sympathetic, caring, human and decent than yourself.

      Re: wcShe is not a bad rolemodel. She has been through so much and her music helps a lot of people. She never tried to be a rolemodel for anyone, she just wanted to sing. Everyone is always taking about what a waste of talent she is, but doesn't anyone think about her life? Do you really think she wanted the whole world to know about her drug addictions? The fact that you think it's disgusting, gross and irresponsible shows what a person you are - a terrible one. If you don't feel sorry for a human who's fighting so much all the time, there is something serious wrong with you. When you're a drug addicted, you can't stop before you're motivated enough. So it doesn't matter how many people tried to help her, if she can't help herself, then no one can. You can't rely on other people so sort out your problems, you have to do it yourself (but with help of course). My heart goes out to her, her family and friends. May god be with her.

      This is what happens when people (like grammy awards) applauds your self-destructive behavior. These attitudes encourages what should be a shame. my therapist (and also teacher) said that these sort of things, in the end, were going to be worst for her. he was totally right…

      I read the emphysema usually appears at 40. she is 24. and i don't think she understands, unfortunately, that the ultimate decision is in her hands. and i don't mean leaving drugs, i mean what caused her addiction to these.

      I hope that she understands she will have to change her habits and the way she looks herself for her own well, because she doesn't seem to have a lot of choices. i hope she gets better.



    95. 95

      your headline makes it seem that you're surprised. I'm betting she doesn't see another new years eve… What a waste, she's would've been a worldclass singer for decades if she had just laid of the dope

      I think, to stay off of drugs for good, she would have to separate from her husband, Pete Doherty and all of her addict friends, cause they won't let her be clean. I hope she will show them she is better than any of those dirtybags and makes it back. Good luck Amy :-)

      Re: Mati – No, this is what happens when you are an addict. Any addict. Fame has nothing to do with it. Addiction has everything to do with it. The majority of addicts in our society are NOT celebrities. This is about the tragedy of addiciton, she just happens to be in the public eye. Most addicts aren't.
