Amy Winehouse circus continues

Wed 29th Aug, 2007 in International News

Roll up, roll up! As British singer Amy Winehouse and her musician husband Blake Fielder-Civil race towards the finish line to overtake Kate Moss and Pete Doherty as the world’s favourite junkie couple, Winehouse’s father-in-law has urged the world not to buy her albums – claiming that it will only fuel their drug-addicted lifestyle. The whole thing just gets wackier every day!

“It seems to be accepted that rich rock stars take drugs. But rich rock stars who take drugs die,” Fielder-Civil senior told BBC Radio 5, labeling Winehouse and his son as drug addicts that were in “abject denial”.

“We would urge Amy’s fans to send a message to Amy that her addiction and her behaviour is not acceptable. Perhaps it’s time to stop buying records … because by doing that, it affects the record company and then the record company may take notice,” he said.

While Fielder-Civil may have had the best intentions, it’s hard to see how his statement would have ever done anything other than add grist to the mill. Either way, the tabloid rags are rubbing their hands together and the paparazzi photographers are adjusting their lenses as we speak.

What’s next? Winehouse going to jail? Treacherous – œfriends’ selling incriminating photographs to the media? Stay tuned to Fasterlouder!
