Family Struggles over Amy Winehouse

The troubled music sensation and jazz queen Amy Winehouse, with her sultry voice and mile-high hair, is still suffering quite a lot of media sensation and familial strife regarding her recent collapse and concert cancellations at the hands of everything from “exhauston” to an admitted drug overdose and a refusal, or a “lack of a need” to go into a drug rehabilitation program. Now it would seem that the ongoing media frenzy surrounding this tiny singer with the big voice and her drug-troubled ways has been gaining even more force during an August 28 BBC Radio 5 phone interview with Amy Winhouse’s father and her father-in-law quarreling over the best ways to help her.

Winehouse’s father-in-law insisted that fans should stop buying her albums and supporting her in general until she and her husband could recognize that they had a drug problem that was affecting her means of making a career and of doing what she loves. The father-in-law also stated that the music industry was obviously more intent on making money off of his daughter-in-law than they were on keeping a talented artist alive and well and able to perform for the fans that they so ably made her music available to. The father-in-law also stated that he believes that his son and daughter-in-law, who were married last May, may be taking cocaine, crack cocaine and possibly even heroin, and therefore are still in abject denial that they both have very serious drug problems.

The struggling singer’s own father criticized Amy’s husband’s father by saying that the record companies had shown nothing but love and respect to Amy as she struggled to overcome the mounting problems facing her.
