Rocker Sir Mick Jagger would love to travel back in time and perform with 18th century castrated boy singers.The Rolling Stone became mesmerised by the concept of the castrati, whose genitals were removed to protect their voices, while watching a recent TV documentary.He says, "I remember seeing this telly show the other day about trying to recreate what the castrati singers sounded like. But they couldn't really tell how these castrati boys sounded, so you could go back in time to the 18th Century to Venice and listen to the pure sound of these castrati singing. That might be an interesting little time trip."Meanwhile SIR Mick Jagger says he fears for Amy Winehouse's health after her reported struggle to kick her drug habit - he's worried the troubled soul star is heading for an early grave.The Rolling Stones frontman, 64, dabbled with drugs during his 1970s heyday and knows how difficult it can be to overcome a drug addiction - but warns Winehouse to get to grips with her problems before it is too late.He says, "Amy is a brilliant artist who makes fantastic music. She has class.But I'm worried she might die if she goes down the road that she has taken.

"If only she would sort herself out. It is hard as your mind has to make that switch. If my mind had not always told me that I should not do too much I could have ended up like Amy years ago. But I always had that voice in my hear that kept me on my toes and told me to stop altogether in the end. I realised I didn't want to die young."

Winehouse hit the headlines in August (07) after she was rushed to hospital following a suspected drugs overdose.
