The singer is not in rehab, as previously reported

Amy Winehouse is recovering from her suspected overdose in a hotel in London, and has not entered rehab, as had been previously reported in the UK press.

Reports have suggested that Winehouse suffered from a drug overdose at 1am on Wednesday (August 8), and was treated with an adrenaline shot before her stomach was pumped.

Despite newspaper reports that the singer had entered The Priory rehab clinic, the latest information is that she has locked herself in a London hotel room to recover.
