LONDON, England (AP) -- Singer Amy Winehouse has lung damage and irregular heart beat, says her father.
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 percent 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.
She is still scheduled to sing at a concert in London on Friday celebrating 90th birthday of Nelson Mandela, the South African Nobel Prize-winner, and plans to take part in the Glastonbury music festival the following day.
Mitch Winehouse said it would be good for his daughter to perform.
"When she's been inactive work-wise then that's when the problems really start. The doctors have said that medically there isn't any reason why she can't do Glastonbury," the paper quoted him as saying.
He also pleaded with her drug taking friends to stay away from her.
"What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her," he said.

Wow she burned out fast. Seems like other artists have done way more drugs than her and managed to still make music/tour/etc effectively. It's like she's dusted out her mind all the time or something

who gives a fuck, this ain't the national enquirer forums
-
We got two good albums out of her. More than most of her contemporaries are good for.
Anyway, we have Duffy now. :heartbeat

Jesus fuck, she must hit the pipe like no other. Can't say this is a surprise though.
-
well its been a while since we had a famous musician o.d., hasn't it?
hopefully she finally realizes that no high is worth dying for, but i don't have much hope
-
Who's the famous musician?

:tbslol :tbslol :tbslol

Who the fuck cares. Nobody forced the crack pipe in her mouth. She made her bed and now she has to lie in it.
I do like her voice but with this lung damage, it is pretty much fucked anyway.

No pity party here. Sympathy for addicts is lol

I applaud her efforts. All musicians should burn out after they have done their one or two good albums so we don't have to hear them repeating themselves over and over again like Radiohead

i have to wonder just how much shit she's smoking to kill that much of her lungs in such a short time. It's got to be killing her folks that she's with that cunt that beats her and keeps her high.
