Singer shuns rehab to holiday with husband

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse is currently on holiday in St Lucia, after shunning rehab once more.

After her in-laws’ calls [url= http://www.nme.com/news/amy-winehouse/30731] for the public to boycott her records[/url] until she recovers from her drug problems, and her father Mitch Winehouse responded by [url= http://www.nme.com/news/amy-winehouse/30733]voicing concerns [/url] that the two families were “pulling in different directions” in regards to Winehouse’s problems, the couple have chosen to relax in the Carribean rather than continue drug rehab.

Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, had previously been admitted to a private rehab centre on an island off the Essex coast. They have not announced how long they plan to spend on holiday yet or if they plan to continue their rehab course.
