Sad Dad
Amy Winehouse's father, cabdriver Mitchell Winehouse, was so sure his daughter was going to die in August when she was admitted into the hospital after her seizure from a drug overdose that he wrote the speech he would read at her memorial. "I know newspapers have obituaries ready for people," he said. "Well, I'd written one." Winehouse blames Amy's husband for her drug addiction. "Blake is a bad influence on her and I no longer toe the line and pretend he isn't. Amy is responsible for her own actions but, until he came along, she was staunchly against hard drugs. For Amy and Blake to beat their drug problems they have to go into rehab separately and he won't let her do that. I don't care about his health at all, other than because my Amy's happiness relies on it. In the end, she's my daughter. She's very strong and I love her. I trust she will be all right." But he keeps that eulogy handy. (RTE)
