Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch says he will "walk away" from his daughter if she doesn't sort out her problems with alcohol. Talking about the troubled singer in a new documentary, Mitch says that although he's proud of Amy for finally ditching the drugs, he fears that she will go down a similar road now with the booze. "After she almost died twice from drug-related problems, to see her walking, smiling – she has progressed so much," he says. "But now, if it's alcohol instead of hard drugs – I don't think I can go through that again. I've decided to distance myself, and whatever happens, happens." Mitch's comments come in the wake of yet another disastrous comeback performance by Amy – this time in her beloved St Lucia. The star stumbled around on stage, slurred her words and swore at the audience when they began booing her. In the past few months, she has also been spotted "crawling" along the floor at her hotel resort and has "begged" holidaymakers for booze. Mitch says Amy herself is the only person who can stop the drinking. We hope she manages it – and soon.
