They Tried to Make Me Go to Rehab & I Said, ‘Yeah, OK’

Despite her rep’s assertion that she was treated for “severe exhaustion” at a London hospital yesterday, sources close to Amy Winehouse claimed the singer actually suffered a drug overdose. Amy reportedly had her stomach pumped and was revived with a shot of adrenaline.

A witness said she was semi-conscious as she was hauled into the hospital’s emergency department at 1am by her husband Blake Fielder-Civil and a female friend.

“She was falling over and stumbling around. She didn’t look well,” said the witness, adding: “Her friends looked really worried about her. The bloke was holding her up because she couldn’t really stand.

“Her girlfriend seemed to be doing all the talking. That’s when I realised Amy must be really ill because although there was a big crowd of people in the waiting area she was rushed straight through.”

Doctors pumped Winehouse’s stomach and administered an adrenaline injection to revive her, according to The Sun.

Doctors discharged Amy last night, and she exited through a back entrance at the hospital. Friends say this was a wake up call for Amy, who might now consider going to rehab.

“Amy got a massive fright when she was hospitalized and is finally coming round to everybody’s pleadings with her to go to rehab.”
