Amy Winehouse is 'in denial'


Singer's mum says she needs to be rescued
Amy Winehouse's mother has once again aired her fears for the troubled 'Back To Black' singer.
Amy has reportedly conquered her drug demons, but now seems to be dependent on alcohol - as many observers suggested in light of her shambolic appearance at the St Lucia Jazz Festival last month.
Speaking as part of a forthcoming documentary on Amy, her mother Janis said: "The need to rescue her is enormous.
"I just want her to be OK and I would do whatever it took to make that right."
But, she explained, the 25-year-old star must make the decision to seek help on her own.
Janis continued: "Amy is in denial all the time. She probably feels trapped. Her body is trapping her. But I know with addiction you do not have the choice because the substance itself directs you."
"I want to say to her, 'Amy, what are you doing? Don't you know what you're doing?' But she by then has got herself on to it to help her get through, and I understand that."
