Have they? F***.

I heard about that as well.

Amy,

can you talk in the kitchen?

After we came back

from America, married,

that was the first time Amy

tried crack cocaine and heroin.

I'd used by then and enjoyed it.

It completely eradicates

any sort of negative feelings.

And then Amy tried it with me.

And it just got a grip of both

of us really quickly from then.

Amy.

- Yeah?

- Come in here.

- Coming!

- Oh, change the record.

Just come on.

Pass me a little, uh...

Come on!

Are you alright

keeping the rollers in?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Do you ever have time

to stand back and think,

"This is alright.

Quite good, this."

Yeah. Uh...

Uh, I dunno. Yeah, I suppose so.

I suppose if my husband's happy,

I'm happy. Um...

But, yeah, I've done well,

I've done really well.

But, um...

I just want to be able to go

and do a next... an album again,

and... keep doing...

just keep doing music

really well,

rather than...

I love doing gigs, though.

I just want to go and do

another album now, so...

Yeah.

I got a phone call

in the middle of the night,

and Blake said to me,

"Something's happened.

"She doesn't know who I am

and she keeps saying your name.

Can you come round?"

So obviously I got up,

and I got in the car

and I started driving.

I got a phone call from Blake,

freaking out, off his nut,

saying she's overdosed.

And I said, "Right."

Go to the closest hospital now

and I'll be there."

She was petrified.

He was petrified.

She looked like a child.

She scared herself, basically.

And the doctor called us

into a room and said,

"With the amount of cocaine,

heroin,

"alcohol and crack cocaine

in her blood system,

"we're amazed

she's not in a coma.

"You've got away with it

this time,

"but she's a petite, young girl;

Her body

can't keep up with this."

She was asleep

and it was very calm.

Nicky was one side of the bed,

I was the other side of the bed,

and we said,

"What are we gonna do now?

How do we deal with this?"

And then it all just started up.

The whole circus

started up again.

And that's when

Raye and Mitch decided

to do an intervention.

Within... hours,

there were Sun, The Mirror,

News Of The World journalists

booked up in every room.

Every single conversation

that happened

was in the Sun and The Mirror.

F*** knows if they were hacking

the phones or whatever.

And there's pictures

of all of us there, sat outside.

Amy was awake

by then and she was eating,

but she wasn't well

and she wasn't right.

The doctor that they got in

looked me dead in the eye

and he said to me,

"If she has another seizure,

she'll die."

And then I was told that she was

going to America to perform.

I was, like, "No, she's not."

We had Mitchell

in a hotel room with us,

begging him,

"Please do something."

"What am I gonna do?

She's gotta go on tour."

"Take her passport away

from her,

do something so she can't go

on tour. She needs help."

"Can't do that,

she's got a tour booked."

So I went into her

room and I stole her passport.

And then I got told,

"What you done that for?

She's gotta go to America.

Why have you done that?"

The doctor's just been round

to check her blood

and check everything.

Blake's managed to get to Hook,

get into her bedroom,

and the next checkup,

the doctors found out she's

got heroin in her blood again.

When I found out,

with the girls,

that she was taking heroin,

and we went to this hotel room

that she was staying in,

and Amy just sat there

and didn't really say anything.

Her manager

then said something like,

"Girls, there are lots

of professionals,

"lawyers and doctors,

all sorts of people,

that function on this stuff."

In helping promote the album,

and get the shows on the road,

I kind of done

what I was supposed to do.

And I felt that it's now

the family's responsibility.

I'm here, but there's only

so much I can do about this.

Amy Winehouse

has pulled out

of a string of concerts in

the U.S. and Canada next month

because of health issues.

The 23-year-old...

Now she's one of Britain's

brightest talents,

but the singer Amy Winehouse

has cancelled yet more gigs,

this time in Norway,

after she was admitted

to a hospital in London

yesterday.

Her record company said it was

just down to severe exhaustion,

but with her reputation

for hard drinking and drugs...

The Amy link came about

through Russell Brand,

who was trying to get Amy

to come into rehab.

And then, also,

Mitch had gotten involved.

And I first met Amy

when she came with Blake

to be assessed for treatment.

It was very much

being led by Blake,

although I did think

she was probably more willing

to go to rehab than he was.

She was a very vulnerable woman.

And I felt very clearly

that it was a common case

of one person having a situation

that was very beneficial

to their using,

not wanting the other person

to get better

for fear of losing

the gravy train.

They were insistent

on doing rehab together,

which, of course, we would've

considered to be disastrous.

I would personally find it

almost unethical

to take the couple

into treatment at the same time.

But her management, and Mitch,

managed to find somewhere

where they could go together.

Oh, it's recording sh*t.

It won't stop.

- Hey, uh... say hello.

- Hello!

Amy, got anything to say?

Only if you sing

your favourite hit, Rehab.

They tried to make me go

I said no

Where are we right now? Amy?

Alex, can you say? Where are we?

Known to some as...

So can we have the new updated

version of Rehab, please, Amy?

First time? Amy?

I want the new version of Rehab.

Please, baby,

for our personal private movie.

They came back from Osea Island,

and had a suite at the hotel,

and they binged.

It was ugly.

They weren't happy souls

when they were high.

I kicked off...

I broke a bottle

and I cut my arm.

And then she grabbed the bottle

off me and she nicked her arm,

and she said,

"I'll do anything you do."

She said,

"Love is, in some ways,

killing me, Raye Raye."

She felt torn

between those two things:

The guy that she really loved,

but having to keep up with

the consumption of substances

that they both were trying

to do at the same time.

It was just a horrible pendulum

swinging one way to the other,

one extreme to the other,

all the time.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Amy Winehouse!

And I've worked

with a lot of people.

I'm telling you,

she has one of the best voices

of anybody of all time.

Amy Winehouse!

More trouble for Amy Winehouse.

The singer's Camden home

was raided by police last night,

who used a battering ram

to smash down her front door.

This was the moment

police arrested and handcuffed

Blake Fielder-Civil

on suspicion of attempting to

pervert the course of justice.

A spokesman for the star saying

she was in no way

connected with the arrest.

Shut the door.

When he went to jail,

she spiralled...

downward very quickly.

Amy! Amy! Amy!
