The brother of Amy Winehouse has been talking up his sister's stint in rehab, claiming that she is now firmly on the road to recovery. The Back to Black singer won an amazing five Grammy awards on Sunday night and performed at the prestigious American music show via a satellite link up to a studio in London. Denied a visa to enter the US, the Wino seemed sober and energetic throughout her performances of Trouble and Rehab (though I could have done without the creepy shaking dancing.) Her parents were at her side to enjoy the celebrations and Alex Winehouse (their parents must like names beginning with 'A') really believes that that it is the start of things to come. "It (the night of the Grammys) was without a doubt the greatest night our family has enjoyed in a long, long time. For the first time in God knows how long, my parents were truly happy, and Amy was too."
"Detox was tough," adds Alex, "but she did it. She was as bright and vivacious as she had been before her demons took over. She didn't miss crack, she told me, and she was glad to be rid of it. Which was a nice thing to hear." Would this new-improved Amy be due to a little time alone from her incarcerated hubby Blake Fielder-Civil?
