London - British soul singer Amy
Winehouse remained in hospital on Tuesday for more tests after
fainting at home on Monday and being rushed to a clinic by her
father, a spokesperson said.
"She's staying there for the time being," the spokesperson
said. "They are still not quite sure what happened and the tests
were inconclusive."
The 24-year-old singer and songwriter, who has publicly
battled drug problems and whose personal life has attracted
widespread media attention, will stay at the private clinic for
further tests, he added.
Winehouse, who won five Grammy Awards in February and
enjoyed commercial success with her album Back to Black, put
her touring commitments on hold last year amid reports she had
been hospitalised for severe exhaustion.
She also entered a rehabilitation clinic in January.
Winehouse is expected to perform as planned at a Nelson
Mandela birthday concert in London's Hyde Park on June 27.
Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, pleaded guilty this month
to beating up a bartender and conspiring to pervert the course
of justice by trying to pay him not to testify.
