'Quit drugs or die': Doctors' chilling warning to hospitalised Amy Winehouse

Doctors have ordered Amy Winehouse to quit drugs immediately or risk dying.

The frank warning came as the Rehab star remains under observation in a central London hospital undergoing tests following a fainting incident on Monday.

Winehouse was taken to the private clinic as a precautionary measure by her father Mitch after she blanked out at her Camden home.

Now medical experts have starkly told the 24-year-old addict that she will continue to suffer collapses if  she doesn't give up hard drugs straightaway.

A source told The Sun, 'Eventually she won't get up again. The only thing to stop that happening is if she quits drugs.'

However, when reached by Mail Online, Winehouse's spokesman denied the 'quit or die' report.

In a statement yesterday, her representative confirmed Winehouse is still undergoing tests at The London Clinic.

He said, 'She seems to be fine in herself, but they are taking their time to be sure.

'She's staying there for the time being. They are still not quite sure what happened and the tests were inconclusive.'
