Amy on drug deadline
Amy Winehouse hit the headlines (as she does on a regular occasion) a few months ago for receiving the most number of nominations for the annual Grammy awards; despite her controversial lifestyle.
Amy has received six nominations for the show and has been lined up as the big star of the ceremony. But all could be in jeopardy as US officials have demanded that in order to gain a visa to enter the country Amy must take a drug test to prove she is clean.
Predictably this has her team desperately pulling out their hair; as sources say she would have to be clean of drugs for weeks to pass – and the award ceremony is February 10th. Amy has said she isn’t ready to quit so her performance is really on the line. Her recent holiday in Mustique was all about getting clean; and it did help; but it is hard to believe there will be a time before going to the US that she would pass the test.
