It's the news that no-one wanted to hear – the Wino has relapsed. After her family talked to the press about her impressive commitment to detox, the bee-hived singer has fallen back into her old, self-destructive ways. According to reports, she was only clean for about ten days in her bid to perform at The Grammys in the US, but has recently returned to taking cocaine, cannabis, ecstasy and booze.
Her performance at the BRIT awards last month prompted speculation that she was back to the drink, but new revelations from those close to Amy reveal she truly is Back to Black. One friend admitted: “On the first night in rehab she begged a friend to take her in some drugs. After that she did not take anything for a week to ten days. But that was just about trying to get her to the Grammys. Now we’re back to the dangerous levels of before.”
These "dangerous levels" include purposefully burning her hand with a lighter and shrieking: “My life is a shell of what it was. People talk to me and I just zone out. It’s like the whole world is now stillborn. Colours aren’t as bright, love doesn’t feel real. I don’t know who I am and I just feel numb.”
Commenting on the chaos, another of Wino's inner circle added: “We were sat around the table when she held a lighter over her hand and let the flame scar her skin. Amy has been up and down in a way she never was before. One minute she’ll be fine, the next she’ll be in a heap on the floor, screaming she can’t go on. She feels that rehab is turning her into some sort of zombie with no emotion.”
Amy is said to be house-hunting in the Buckinghamshire area, since moving out of her London flat and was snapped carrying a photo of her imprisoned hubby Blake Fielder-Civil as the removals took place.
Oh Amy – at Star Trip we've long lamented your personal problems and can only continue to hope that you get the help you need.
