Father Flies To See Amy Winehouse

The father of singer Amy Winehouse has flown to see her in St Lucia, as he is concerned about her drinking.

The ‘Back to Black' singer collapsed on Saturday and was hospitalised after running out of drug replacement medication, prescribed as part of her treatment for her heroin and crack cocaine addiction.

Amy, 25, is now said to be in a stable condition, and was discharged from hospital on Sunday. Mitch has travelled to the Caribbean island where his daughter is holidaying to offer support, but also to see how much she is drinking.

Amy has been in St. Lucia since New Year on an extended holiday. It has been rumoured Amy will return to the United Kingdom in April and could possibly move away from the London district of Camden where she has a home, to a quieter area in the suburbs.

It was also rumoured she could record her new album in Jamaica and possibly even set up a home there.

Ronnie Wood Faces Axe From The Rolling Stones

The 61-year-old rocker who has been treated for alcoholism several times over the last 30 years, has been warned to curb his partying or risk being banned from a proposed autumn tour of America with bandmates Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts.

Ronnie had failed his medical for the 2002/2003 tour because he was drinking seven times the recommended number of alcohol units a week. He had to spend months drying out at a clinic in Arizona.

Ronnie was most recently treated for his alcohol addiction last August at the Life Works clinic in Surrey, England, following a 10-day drinking binge in Ireland with Russian girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, 20.

If he is banned from touring, Ronnie risks losing out on hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The ‘Satisfaction' rockers' ‘Bigger Bang' world tour, which took place between August 2005 and August 2007, was the highest-grossing of all time, generating $558,255,524.

The group were also named the highest-paid private performers last year, commanding a staggering $7 million per private show.
