He blames singer's smoking of crack cocaine, cigarettes

LONDON - Soul diva Amy Winehouse has damaged her lungs by smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes, her father said in an interview published Sunday.

The Sunday Mirror quoted Mitch Winehouse as saying that Amy has an early stage emphysema and an irregular heartbeat, and has been warned that she will have to wear an oxygen mask unless she stops smoking drugs.

"The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her," Mitch Winehouse was quoted as saying. "There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She has 70 percent lung capacity."

She should try Yoga instead.

There are a lot of hobbies that would be better for her body than the crap she's doing now.

I prefer this version of the article. It's a magic quote.

He called on drug dealers to help her recovery by refusing to supply her with crack cocaine.

That seems pretty likely. Most crack dealers are stand-up people deep down.
