Amy Winehouse is in hiding, resting under doctor’s orders following her drug overdose last Tuesday (August 7).
According to her record company spokesperson today (August 14), who refused to comment on whether Winehouse planned to go to rehab or not, the singer is resting up on medical orders.
The singer has previously made clear that she wanted to avoid drug rehabilitation treatment, labelling it a “cop-out”.
Despite the enforced rest period, Winehouse is still currently scheduled to perform at this weekend’s V Festival (August 18-19).
