Amy Winehouse Is On the Road to Recovery
February 12th, 2008
Amy Winehouse’s mother has spoken of her pride at her daughter’s Grammy success and her hopes that the troubled star is on “the road to recovery”.
Winehouse won five Grammy awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her autobiographical hit ‘Rehab’, but could not attend the ceremony because of visa problems, performing instead via satellite from London.
Her mother Janis Winehouse told GMTV today: “Well, as you saw, she looks good and it’s a case of she’s on the road, and that’s what it’s about, she’s on the road to recovery.”
She said it was probably best that her daughter did not end up going to the LA ceremony.
“I think it would have been too much for her because all of the travelling and flying there, I mean seeing what the Grammys was like … we could see it live from there and I thought if Amy were there, she’d be lost in it, she’d be a little girl lost in it.”
Mrs Winehouse said of her performance: “Well, it’s Amy coming back, she’s definitely on the way back.”
She spoke of the family’s fears for the singer’s health before she entered a London rehab clinic, saying: “She was sort of with it but not with it, and that’s the thing where I think fortunately, thank goodness in our family, she’s got a solid family and we’re all there for her.”
