Amy Winehouse Fans Plead With Her To Get Help - Visits Drugs Clinic Over Binge Video
Yesterday saw shocking video footage of Amy Winehouse smoking cocaine from a crack pipe plastered all over the Internet, including here on Brit Music Scene.
Today, it seems that after fans pleaded with the singer to finally get some help to overcome her addictions, she’s taken the first steps toward recovery by visiting a drugs clinic in London.
All of yesterday, Winehouse’s website was deluged by messages from her many fans, both calling for her to get help, and offering her the support she clearly needs at the moment.
According to Digital Spy:
“One fan said: “Amy, please get some help before it’s too late. You are an amazing talent that is going to burn out way too fast. That video of you at home which is now doing the rounds will hopefully be instrumental in getting you where you need to be.”
“Other fans were less complimentary, saying: “You ain’t a legend yet, baby, and - newsflash - you and Blake [Fielder-Civil, her husband] ain’t Sid and Nancy. Time to get a reality check and lose the idiots around you who are supplying you with one hand and making money off you with the other. Quit being a loser and get real. Make music and stop snorting away a talent, we’re getting sick of paying for it.”
So, some people took the liberal, easy going approach, whilst others obviously think it’s time Winehouse just got a short sharp dose of reality.
Whatever the method, it seems to have done some good, with Winehouse reportedly going to a London drugs clinic yesterday evening. She spent two hours there with her long suffering father Mitch.
He told The Sun newspaper, the owners of the now notorious video clip:
“Your video of Amy taking drugs may well be the best thing that has ever happened to her. For all the hurt and pain, it may finally be the thing to focus her mind and convince her to get the help she needs to quit for good.”
Meanwhile, the police are currently investigating the video, and will decide at a later date whether it warrants arresting Winehouse. In a way I hope they do, as it may just be the further kick in the head she needs to show her she’s doing wrong. It’s not like there’s no evidence for her drug taking, the whole world has seen the footage now.

Amy Winehouse should just grow up.
The drugs trade deals in death and misery for poor countries and young girls are influenced by her antics.
She also profits from all the media coverage by selling records.
I think her PR people also make money from it all.
She should set an example by cleaning up her act.
She is very young so there is hope for her.
