Crack Is Killing Amy Winehouse

British trainwreck Amy Winehouse is suffering from a potentially deadly lung disease called emphysema, which is usually caused by heavy smoking and drug taking.

The Back to Black hitmaker’s father, Mitch, confirmed the news after she tested negative for tuberculosis on Friday.

He told the Sunday Mirror newspaper, “She’s got emphysema. It’s in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month, (doctors) painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe.

“With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity.

“To think this could happen to my beautiful 24-year-old daughter’s life is preposterous. But if drugs mean more to her than breathing properly, then so be it. But the doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her…”

Mitch also claimed his daughter suffered another health scare during her time at the hospital, as a scan revealed a lump in her chest.

He added, “After lots of tests they found a lump in Amy’s chest. A scan has shown it’s not cancerous and there are no traces of cancer in her blood. But they might need to double check. There is a chance she might need a biopsy. If they need to cut the lump out then that will mean a massive and painful operation and a lot of recuperation. At the moment, that doesn’t look likely.”

Amy Winehouse is currently undergoing treatment for her condition, and doctors will soon decide whether she is fit to honor her upcoming performance commitments, including an appearance at the legendary Glastonbury music festival next weekend.
