Apparently Amy's wild lifestyle was damaging his health

Amy Winehouse’s tour manager Thom Stone quit his duties yesterday (November 15), after supposedly passively inhaling heroin that was on Winehouse’s tourbus.

According to The Sun, Stone had medical tests ad was found to have traces of heroin in his body. Apparently Stone said that the only way he could have inhaled it could have been by being on Winehouse’s tour bus.

The newspaper quote a source close to Winehouse’s party as saying: “Thom had just had it up to here. He was watching them [Winehouse and husband Blake Fielder-Civil] get off their heads and wondering whether Amy was even going to get up on stage. It was a nightmare job.”

Winehouse’s tour had already got off to a shaky start, after she was booed in Birmingham for a supposedly under-par performance, and threatened the crowd.
