Amy Winehouses father has claimed that his daughter started doing hard drugs after her marriage to Blake Fielder Civil.
London, Oct 30 : Amy Winehouse's father has claimed that his daughter started doing "hard drugs" after her marriage to Blake Fielder Civil.
Mitch Winehouse has expressed his concern for his daughter's health and fears she may die at a young age if she continues with her drugs.
However he added that his 24-year-old daughter's substance abuse is "not as bad" as reported, and that he does not blame Fielder-Civil for her problems.
In an interview with ITV1's This Morning programme, he conceded that Amy had smoked marijuana since her teens, but said she had always been "a complete opponent of hard drugs."
"She couldn't understand why people in the music industry took hard drugs and that changed about six months ago when she got married to Blake," the Daily Mail quoted him, as saying.
"And I'm not saying it's Blake's fault, what I'm saying is Amy's responsible for her own actions. However, it's a fact that the hard drugs coincided with their marriage," he added.
Mitch, a taxi driver, further said that he found it "very difficult to cope" with recent photos showing the couple looking battered and bruised after an argument.
He also revealed that the 'Rehab' singer is still suffering from bulimia.
"She's not drinking as heavily as she was then actually, but there are other problems. The other problem is the bulimia which is still apparent, although she's put on about a stone in weight, but it's still affecting her health," he said.
"And there are problems with substance abuse as well. But it's not as bad as has been reported," he added.
Winehouse was arrested in Norway earlier this month for possession of marijuana. She and Fielder-Civil, along with friend Alexander Foden, spent the night in a police cell and were released after paying a fine.
The award-winning retro-soul singer is due to start a full UK tour in Manchester on Nov 12.
