Winehouse ditches drugs formusic

Mon 12th Jan, 2009 in International News

It seemed like the only thing straight-and-narrow in the life of Amy Winehouse was her beloved crack-pipe, but all that’s about to change. The tabloid plaything has announced to News Of The World that she’s off the gear for good. Which means there’s hope for some of that music business she was once known for.

Speaking from her holiday in St. Lucia, Winehouse was in the sort of good spirits we’d all be in if we holidayed in St. Lucia. “Here I feel so calm and peaceful and for the first time I can definitely say I am off the drugs,” she told the website. “I haven’t touched anything since I arrived and I feel the best I have in years. All I’ve done is read books, sunbathe and drink cocktails. But it’s made me feel like concentrating on my career again.” Time to call a crisis meeting at The Sun headquarters?
