Amy Winehouse collapses in St Lucia

She spends the night in hospital

Amy Winehouse has spent the night in hospital in St Lucia, after collapsing at her holiday home on the island.

The singer's spokesperson said that doctors had kept her in the hospital overnight for observation, adding that she was told she was dehydrated.

"She fainted at home (in St Lucia) and they took her in for observation, mainly to do with her medication to check everything was OK," he said. "They told her that she was dehydrated and needed to drink more water."

Winehouse was apparently seen playing with local children before fainting, reports AFP.

She is set to perform her first gig of 2009 at the St Lucia Jazz Festival on May 8.

Her spokesperson also confirmed that Winehouse has obtained an injunction to prevent photographers from approaching or following her within 100 metres of her London home.

You get dehydrated when you drink alcohol in a hot climate and do not have any water. Some stars are snatched up by hollywood and the music business too early, but Ms. Winehouse is late...waaaay too late.

Amy Winehouse is truly a living legend. A truly tortured artist always makes fantastic music but at the same time lives a very painfull life. This is what makes the music so beautifull, Because its real. True words being sung from a true Heart, feeling that pain or wherever the is giving energy to such beautifull poetry. Looking back through time all the unique and truly gifted artists have had this in common. Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Janis joplin, Jim Morrison and Brian jones all of which lived with there own demons and died aged 27!.

i wish she'd just die. she's no good to anyone anymore. she's a mole and a horrid excuse of a human. i don't care what she was because this is who she is now. there are 1000s of starving people out there and there she is boozing and shooting up with her millions of disposable income. so disgusting. back to black? back to a black coffin i say. get lost and stay lost amy.

To Seaswillrise. Hendrix died accidentally, and it would be fair to say that none of the others did a particularly good job of living with 'there' own demons hence dying at 27. There is no beauty in self destruction, only destruction.

Wow, what a bunch of bitter haters. I guess you all have nothing better to do then sit around on your computers judging people's weaknesses. If you don't like her music just don't buy it. I think she is a brilliant musician and wish her the very best.
