Amy Winehouse wants to die, she was spotted smoking in London Monday after her father revealed she has emphysema. Amy was taken to the hospital last week for tests after she fainted at home in London.
"The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her," Mitch told UK newspaper the Daily Mail.
"With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up," Mitch said. "There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70 percent lung capacity."
"She's only 24 yet she has the lungs of an 80-year-old, She's going to get fatigued [on stage] and have to rest with supplemental oxygen. It will dramatically effect her career."
"To have this type of emphysema already will likely shorten her life to about 50 years of age," says Nielson.
However, a publicist for Winehouse later said he had misspoken "out of his concern for her."
"She is not diagnosed with full-blown emphysema, but instead has early signs of what could lead to emphysema," Tracey Miller, her U.S.-based representative, told The Associated Press on Monday.
In an interview published Sunday by the Daily Mail of London, Mitch Winehouse said that his daughter's crack and cigarette smoking had led to early-stage emphysema, and that Amy had an irregular heartbeat. He said she had been warned that she will have to wear an oxygen mask unless she stops smoking drugs. But in an interview later with BBC Radio 1, Amy's Dad appeared to downplay his dire statements, and said:
"Amy really hasn't got emphysema, there's traces of emphysema. Obviously, if she doesn't quit smoking, it's going to get worse, like everyone else … with patience her lungs will recover completely."
