Amy Winehouse Has Emphysema

Amy Winehouse's dad says she is suffering from emphysema and he fears could be in a wheelchair within a month.
"She's got emphysema." Mitch Winehouse her dad tells the Sunday Mirror in the U.K."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 per cent lung capacity."
Winehouse, 24, was taken to the hospital last week after she fainted at home in London.
Mitch told the Sunday Mirror his daughter reminded him of his own 78-year-old mother struggling for breath on an aspirator before she died of lung cancer.
Amy's husband Blake Fielder-Civil is calling Amy every day "to help her stay strong".
Amy went to rehab in January, but Mitch hopes Amy will be allowed to perform at the Glastonbury Festival next weekend.

People have been telling her for a long time to get cleaned up. Maybe it's not too late to slow this thing down and enjoy her life. There's a lot of resources available for her. And other celebs who are health conscious should offer to help. Send her some Purple and an oxygen bar. Clean out her system. Good Luck, Amy!
