Amy Winehouse hospitalized for chest and lung testing again

Now People is reporting that Amy’s back in the hospital for more tests on her chest and lungs.

Singer Amy Winehouse was hospitalized Saturday for tests on her chest and lungs, her London spokesman confirms to PEOPLE. The 25-year-old singer – who was hospitalized in June with a severe lung ailment – had a doctor visit her at home Thursday.

Then, over the weekend, “they wanted to do some tests as a precaution,” her spokesman Chris Goodman told PEOPLE. “Obviously she had lung and chest problems which she had treatment for not so long ago, so they’re just making sure.”

Winehouse’s father, Mitch, has previously said that the singer’s lungs are “all gunked up” from smoking cigarettes and crack cocaine. The troubled singer was taken to the London Clinic, where earlier this year she was treated for drug problems. “She’s fine,” Goodman said on Monday. “Should be back home today.”

It seems pretty clear that Amy is either getting better or near the end of the line. She’s hardly been out drinking, drugging, or punching anyone in a month. That means things are either getting a lot better or a lot worse, and since it’s all happening behind closed doors, we have no way to know which it is. Though generally speaking a hospitalization – no matter how minor - makes me think things are headed for the worse. Especially looking at these most recent pictures of Amy.

Here’s Amy out for the first time in weeks according to Bauer-Griffin – who also says she’s on her way to rehab. Images thanks to Bauer-Griffin.
