Amy Winehouse Has Emphysema, Says Dad
When Amy Winehouse collapsed last week in her Camden, London home the realization that she could have serious medical problems resulting from her hard living lifestyle began to really sink in.
And according to her father Mitch Winehouse, the “Rehab” singer has certainly done herself in. But he’s holding out hope that this time she gets the picture that her habits must change.
He told press, “With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity.”
“When we got to the hospital a room was ready. Several doctors came in and checked to make sure she didn’t need any emergency treatment. They put her on a drip straight away because she was dehydrated. She said, ‘Don’t worry about me, dad. I know I’ve got to stop taking drugs now.’”
“She’s got emphysema. It’s in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe.”
Below are the last pictures of Amy before being admitted into the hospital.
