London - Troubled British soul
singer Amy Winehouse fainted at home on Monday and her father
rushed her to hospital for tests, her publicist said.
"Amy was at home this afternoon when she briefly fainted.
Fortunately, her manager's assistant was there to stop her
falling," publicist Tracey Miller said.
"She quickly recovered and her father Mitch took her to
hospital as a precaution.
Doctors are unsure of the cause of the
incident and Amy is currently undergoing tests. She may be kept
in overnight for observation."
The Grammy-winning singer and songwriter, 24, has publicly
battled drug problems and her personal life has frequently
attracted media attention.
Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, pleaded guilty this month
to beating up a bar tender and conspiring to pervert the course
of justice by trying to pay him not to testify.
