If we're to believe this morning's article in UK rag, The Mirror, then Amy Winehouse has truly taken life imitating art to entirely new levels: *Troubled pop star Amy Winehouse will die unless she tackles her demons, friends of the singer warned last night. Amy, 23, who was rushed to hospital after collapsing on Wednesday, checked into The Priory rehab centre in London yesterday as family members admitted that her relentless drink and drug lifestyle had pushed her to the brink.One friend said: "It's not an exaggeration to say that unless she sorts herself out, this relentless dalliance with drink and drugs will only have one ending. And it won't be happy. It's time for some tough love which is why we've taken her to get help." Amy's worried father-in-law, retired businessman Lance Fielder, blamed her breakdown on massive booze and drugs binges. And he dismissed her record company's excuse of "severe exhaustion" as a "cover-up".
Amy's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has spoken to his father about his concerns. Mr Fielder, 66, said: "He told me he was very worried about her. He admitted they both drank and did drugs but that came as no surprise. "It was bought on by all her excesses. Yes, work is one of them, but there's the drink and drugs too. She's got to get a grip on herself before it's too late." Amy, whose hit single Rehab includes the line "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said No, No, No", is in a private wing at The Priory in Roehampton, South West London. Her dad Mitchell and mum Janis, who separated when she was nine, are understood to be with her. After Amy arrived in a black 4x4, an insider said: "She looked in a terrible state, she could barely walk."*
UPDATE: NME is doubting the rehab story.
