Just yesterday, Amy Winehouse’s representative was saying she was ready to get her life back in order and her music career back on track with a string of live performances at summer festivals in the UK. Granted, this was not the first time that fans got to hear this kind of promise, but it did seem legit enough – until a recent report in The Sun, which has it that Winehouse is back in the hospital after yet another alcohol bender.

Sources close to the singer who were in St. Lucia over the weekend, when she collapsed, are now telling the tab that, no matter how hard Winehouse and her management are trying to make her alcohol issue seem like nothing, it has gotten beyond any controllable limit. This recent visit to the emergency room, together with another one she took just days ago for “dehydration,” should speak volumes as regards the fact that Amy needs professional help and fast, sources say.

“Amy Winehouse was rushed to hospital for the third time in three months after another booze bender. The singer fell ill at her luxury villa on the Caribbean island of St Lucia. Worried pals quickly called an ambulance and the songbird was discharged the same night. But that hasn’t stopped friends of the troubled star from fearing Friday night’s escapade means she won’t be in a fit state to perform at her UK comeback gig in less than a fortnight. The Grammy winner is scheduled to play London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on May 31.” The Sun writes, citing the sources close to Amy Winehouse.

In all fairness, if friends and fans are worried about her condition, they have absolutely every right to be so, it is being said. Winehouse’s performance at the St. Lucia Jazz Music Festival was, if anything, a clear indication that whatever demons she’s battling, she can’t do it alone, often forgetting the lyrics she had written herself and being barely able to stand on her two feet for more than a couple of minutes.

“Amy could barely stand up, she didn’t know the words to her songs. It’s a disgrace. She was so drunk she didn’t know where she was. She’s a lost cause. Amy, 25, played for just 45 minutes and the final track she attempted to sing ‘Valerie’ was finished by her band without her. Sources claim the main reason behind her binge drinking is the hurt she is still feeling following her split from estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil.” the media was writing shortly after Winehouse was booed off stage in St. Lucia, much to her disgrace.
