Winehouse is then was said to have visited a private doctor’s surgery in London for a brain scan after she had a seizure during her drugs overdose, reports The Mirror.

Her father-in-law Giles Fielder-Civil said: “Amy has had five days away from drugs and her self-esteem and confidence is slowly coming back. I hope she and Blake can take control of their lives.”

Winehouse is expected to play the V Festival this weekend (August 18-19). NME.COM will be bringing coverage live from both of the event's sites this weekend, so tune in to see if Winehouse makes it to the shows.
