Singer has contracted deadly lung disease

Amy Winehouse is no stranger to trouble, but now the troubled singer’s father is predicting his alleged cocaine-addicted daughter might be on her way to the grave sooner than expected.

According to the UK’s Daily Mail, Winehouse has contracted emphysema, a deadly lung disease.

Winehouse father, Mitch, says that his daughter may be in a wheelchair by the next month and forced to wear an oxygen mask to breathe if she didn’t heed doctors advice to get off drugs. “The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her,” Mitch says.

The24-year-old singer was rushed to the London Clinic hospital last week for the disease. It was originally thought that she had tuberculosis.

Winehouse's publicist confirmed today that the singer did indeed have the deadly lung disease. "It's totally reversible and she's responded well to treatment.'"
