Troubled Amy Winehouse reveals her scarred 'coalminer's hands
Related Articles
10 October 2007
A smartly dressed Amy Winehouse looked transformed as she ditched her tatty ballet pumps for a designer dress and heels on an evening out – but she couldn't do anything to makeover her scarred and scabbed hands.
The singer looked fabulous as she arrived at a restaurant launch wearing an orange and gold metallic shift dress, and an olive green trenchcoat.
But on closer inspection her hands were revealed to be red-raw, and scarred, with her thumb looking particularly scabbed.

Troubled Amy, who has in the past admitted to self-harming, was at Knightsbridge store Harvey Nichols for the launch of new restaurant The Row, the night after she was a no-show at the Q Awards.
She was reported to be ill, but she looked anything but as she arrived at the bash hosted by American celebrities Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and didn't leave until the early hours.

Amy arrived separately from husband Blake, but they left together later at around 2.30pm, with Amy changing into her uniform of white vest and jeans on the way home.
She clearly looked the worse for wear as she stumbled into her north London home, raising fears that she is still in the grip of her addictions.

Glam: Amy may have skipped the Q Awards, but she was back on the town last night
Yesterday Amy beat the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs and Manic Street Preachers to win Best Album for Back To Black at the Q Awards – but unable to attend the ceremony, her producer pal Mark Ronson collected it in her absence.
But it was reported today, that the prestigious award turned up in a rather unlikely location.
The gong was left in the toilets at Bar Soho in London's Old Compton Street, where Mark Ronson, who earlier collected the award in her absence, was seen partying until 2am.
But it is possible Amy's Valerie duet partner was not entirely to blame - some reported last seeing the award in the hands of comedians Alan Carr and Ricky Gervais.
Bar Soho's Andrew Morris said: "I thought it wasn't real when I first saw it."
"But then I looked at the newspapers and saw the Q Awards were on last night and Amy Winehouse didn't collect her prize."
"In the state Amy's in these days I'm sure she doesn't care too much."
"But I'm sure the Q Awards organisers wouldn't be too happy it's been left in the bar.
And Winehouse beat the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs and Manic Street Preachers to win Best Album for Back To Black.
As he picked the award on her behalf, Ronson told the crowd: "That's Amy – taking her pain and turmoil and making it into the music we enjoy."
And as if to underline that point, Amy is reported to have recently got a new tattoo on her inner arm which reads "Never clip my wings."
