Trip to hospital leaves Winehouse ‘terrified’

LONDON - Pop singer Amy Winehouse has spoken out about her hospital visit last week.

Winehouse was rushed to University College Hospital in London suffering from “severe exhaustion,” on Aug. 8.

“I don’t know how to explain what happened. I don’t really know myself,” Winehouse told Britain’s News of The World of the incident.

“I can’t remember what I looked like. I couldn’t recognize myself. It was terrifying. I was terrified,” she added.

While Amy’s rep said only that the singer was suffering from “severe exhaustion,” News of the World claims, the “Rehab” singer’s hospital visit was due to the downing of several hard drugs combined with alcohol.

Though it appears Winehouse did not comment to the paper on the drugs and alcohol allegations, the singer did say she herself was concerned over her trip to the hospital.

“I was so out of control. It just happened. It shocked me. I’m sorry. I just don’t know what got into me,” she said. “I never want to feel that way again.”

Winehouse’s biggest hit, “Rehab,” was written in response to her manager encouraging her to go to a treatment facility. The singer is known for enjoying her alcohol and is regularly spotted by the paparazzi in British pubs and at off-license stores buying booze.
