Winehouse’s Dad Breaks His Own Dictate and Talks to Media, Her Husband Writes an Old-Fashioned Diary

11/29/07, 10:57 am EST

Amy Winehouse is “sorry for fans” after canceling her current tour, according to her media-loving father, Mitch Winehouse. Mitch also told the BBC that ending the tour so Amy could take a full rest “is in her best interests.” The comments come two days after a Winehouse press release stated, “Her family has requested that the media respect Amy’s privacy at this time. There will be no further comment.” Maybe Mitch didn’t get the memo. Winehouse’s dad also said that “all options” are being considered for the singer, including a much-needed stay in a rehabilitation center. Amy blames the nixed tour on the emotional and physical fatigue she’s suffering as she remains separated from her husband/enabler Blake Fielder-Civil.

Fielder-Civil currently stews away in a London jail cell until January 18th, as he’s accused of beating up a pub owner, then trying to “pervert justice” by bribing his victim (sadly, that charge is unrelated to those lovable Dateline molester-catchers, Perverted Justice). To kill time as he awaits the day he and his wife are reunited and can start beating the hell out of each other again, Fielder-Civil has started writing a diary (yes, a diary, not a blog, for you youngsters), that he passes along to Amy so that she “feel as if they’re still sharing life and he’s with her every day,” according to Fielder-Civil’s mother, Georgette. “Blake thinks that if Amy has a little thing to do for him each day that’ll propel her on, give her something to work towards and get her out of bed in the morning,” Georgette explained. Diaries are okay, but once Fielder-Civil starts using that pen to start writing songs like “Popazoa,” we’re gonna have issues.

She needs to start directing all of that chaotic creative energy back to writing. It’s an age-old problem (extending back to some of the Classical Composers and probably thousands of years before that): Creative people, when not intellectually stimulated, can become very self-destructive.

I was using the lifestyles of Kurt and Britney to point out the differences to the early posters who were cheering on the unfortunate breakdown of Amy Winehouse.

I agree with you. She does need help. That’s why she should take some time away from the spotlight and start to put her life back together.

Whether she’s like Britney or Kurt or whatever is of little significance, if any at all.

What’s important is that she gets help or she’ll die. She’s not going to just to be able to cut down or taper off. The kind of lifestyle she’s living now, if kept on its present course, most likely, sadly and unfortunately, will end in death.

Amy’s meltdown is more on a Kurt Cobain level than the ego-driven Britney level. As a fan, I wish she would take some time off and take care of herself. She has been touring nonstop for the past two years for the same album. That’s enough to burn anyone out. If you don’t like her music, fair enough. Just realize the difference between true mental exhaustion and mindless celebrity indulgences.

Amy Winehouse: Paranoid | 11/29/2007, 4:20 pm EST

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

What’s the matter, Hank? Hey, where did Winehouse go?

That bitch cleaned out the liquor cabinet, and stole my wallet. No good whore!
