Amy Winehouse's TB fears

5 months ago 20th Jun 12:30

"She needs to realise she will die if she doesn't clean up her act."

Amy is scheduled to play Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert in London and the Glastonbury festival in Somerset this month.

Her spokesperson said the singer still plans to honour the commitments - but only if doctors will let her.

The spokesperson said: "At present she still intends to perform at her two scheduled dates next week.

"However the decision will be made entirely on the advice of her doctors and in her best interests. Amy has undergone more scans and tests and we are awaiting the verdict of her doctors."

Tuberculosis is transmitted by droplets in the air, and is usually more common in developing countries. Drug addicts, alcoholics and those with poor diets are more susceptible to the disease because of their reduced immune systems.

TB - which is on the rise in Britain - requires six months of medication and if left untreated attacks most organs, resulting in likely death.

Show some compassion. None of us are perfect not one, least of all two heartless people who feel the need to attack a dying woman!

whatever!! Coughing blood and collapsing is nothing to do with being a crack & smackhead then??? Probably a lung infection which is a common side effect of heroin use....
