Amy Winehouse's Mom Comes to Her Defense

Janis Winehouse says that “the hospital visit was simply a matter of human error.”

“The truth is that Amy ended up in hospital this week because she mixed up the medication she’s taking to help her come off drugs,” she told the Daily Mirror newspaper.

“She took a wrong tablet.”

“I really don’t think she’s using now,” she claimed. “Being diagnosed with the early stage of emphysema was a real jolt to her. A bit of a wake-up call.”
