Amy Winehouse Goes To Rehab
January 24th, 2008
It’s been confirmed that troubled singer Amy Winehouse entered a rehabilitation facility on Thursday (January 24) after a statement was released by her record company saying "she requires specialist treatment."
Following the explosive video exposed by the British tabloid The Sun of Winehouse smoking what appears to be a crack pipe, the 24-year-old has been facing pressure from fans to seek treatment.
"Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors," a statement from Universal Music said. "She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction and prepare for her planned appearance at the Grammy Awards. She is nominated in an incredible six categories.
"Amy entered the facility by mutual agreement and continues to receive the full support of all concerned. Amy is the most talented and important musical artist of her generation and has made huge strides on her road to recovery. Universal Music Group wants nothing more than to see her take the time she needs to come back to full health and fulfill her incredible potential with the label.
The statement continues, "The label has always had the best interests of Amy at heart and has been guided by her family and doctors in the last few months as to the best direction to take. All concerned feel that Amy must put her health before all other considerations and will be by her side whenever and wherever they are needed."
