Amy Winehouse checked out of the hospital and lights a cigarette! Amy's father Mitch announced the singer was suffering from the early stages of the lung disease emphysema. Now there are reports that the Rehab singer is not suffering from emphysema but a "scarring of the lungs which could lead to ephysema". There are also reports that Amy Winehouse was coughing up blood and may have contracted tuberculosis. Amy is preparing to perform at the 90th birthday celebration for former South African president Nelson Mandela.
Frail singer Amy Winehouse is still battling her serious lung condition – but that didn't stop her from rehearsing for an upcoming gig. The 24-year-old checked out of her London hospital for a few hours Monday to practice for her performance at Nelson Mandela's birthday celebration this Friday. (She also found time to shop for a new pair of her trademark ballet shoes.) Despite her father Mitch's previous claims, reps now say Winehouse is not suffering from emphysema. It's a "scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema", says spokesman Chris Goodman. "If she keeps doing the wrong things, then it could lead to it. If she does the right things, it won't." Doctors have warned that smoking is one of those "don'ts." But the troubled singer was seen with a lit cigarette during her furlough from the clinic.
It is difficult to quit smoking.
Some say it is harder to quit smoking then it is to quit heroin or crack.
Remember young girls will rebel!
