And Drug Dealers Always Keep Their Promises


The in-laws of troubled singer Amy Winehouse have urged fans to stop buying her records - to send a message to her and her husband that they must sort out their drug problems.
The parents of Blake Fielder-Civil said Winehouse and their son were drug addicts but in a state of denial.

They also said the singer should not be given any awards for which she is nominated, to show the couple's behavior was not acceptable.

Giles and Georgette spoke out as fears continue to grow for Winehouse, who was pictured bloodstained last week following an alleged row with her husband.

Police were called to London's Sanderson Hotel by a worried onlooker, but the singer refused to press charges. The shocking images showed Winehouse wearing blood-soaked ballet shoes, with bruises to her neck, bandages on her arms and make-up smeared down her face.

Fielder-Civil had livid scratches covering his face and neck. Police confirmed they had attended an incident but no charges would be brought.

Winehouse was admitted to hospital earlier this month after a reported overdose of
heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol.

Amy's father-in-law said "Georgette and I both believe that they are drug addicts, and they don't believe they are. I think they believe they are recreational users of drugs, and they are in control, but it seems to Georgette and I that this isn't the case."

He believed they were taking crack, and there had been instances of heroin use. They had identified one source of supply, and shared the information with Winehouse's family, the record company and the police.

Mr Fielder-Civil said he had also confronted the source, who had promised to stop. "They gave me their word, but unfortunately we have learned in the past three weeks that not everybody's word is their bond, and we don't live in a totally honest world."
