Soul singer Amy Winehouse has developed the lung condition emphysema and has been warned by doctors that she will die if she continues smoking drugs, her father said in an interview on Sunday.

Mitch Winehouse said the incurable illness, which leaves sufferers struggling for breath, was diagnosed when his daughter had series of health checks in hospital.

“The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her,” he was quoted as saying in the Sunday Mirror. “The doctors have said that if she had continued the way she was going she could have ended up an invalid — she wouldn’t have been able to breathe.”

He added: “She’s got emphysema. It’s in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they 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.”

He added that a spell in hospital last week and renewed treatment for her well-publicized drug addiction had offered a ray of hope for his 24-year-old daughter.

“If she doesn’t go back to drugs, then she can lead this magnificent life,” he said. “We are praying that that’s what Amy really wants. She seems resolute.”

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

There is no medical reason why she shouldn’t be able to perform at the Glastonbury Festival next weekend, he added. In the past, work has helped to keep her away from drugs.

THE British singer has revealed a new statement regarding her involvements on “Quantum of Solace” movie soundtrack claiming that she has written a new song for it.

The news about Amy Winehouse’s involvements on the new James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” takes another twist on its turn. After recent reports claim that Amy won’t be taking part on the film’s soundtrack, the singer has confirmed that she is writing a song for it.

The British singer confirms the news to the Mirror newspaper, while attending the Ivor Novello Awards. To the newspaper, Amy stated that she has finished the song and is still waiting for the movie’s producer approval. “I’ve written the song. If they like it they like it, if they don’t they don’t,” she said.

Amy’s statement is also supported by her producer Mark Ronson, who said that the troubled singer wrote the song in an acoustic guitar and he helps her on the music arrangement. “Amy wrote the song on an acoustic guitar. It was my job to help with the arrangement and realise the sound that we were going for. So that was my role,” Mark said.

Previously, it was Mark who told the press that Amy won’t be taking part on the upcoming bond movie, saying, “Unless by some miracle of science it gets recorded and someone sings a vocal.” However, the “Rehab” singer’s representative has a different opinion about it, saying, “Mark has presented a track to Amy, but she had other ideas about the direction it should take. She has always made her own decisions about her music.”

In other news, Amy herself recently has just won an award at the Ivor Novello. The singer managed to take home the award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for her single “Love Is A Losing Game”.
