AMY WINEHOUSE'S FATHER SAYS THANKS

Rehab singer Amy Winehouse's dad has thanked a British newspaper for showing the video of his daughter allegedly taking drugs, insisting the move shocked her into seeking help.Winehouse checked into a rehab clinic in London last month after the video showing the star allegedly taking a variety of illegal substances was passed on to The Sun newspaper.The sultry singer left the facility last week looking healthier and happier and went on to give the audience at the Grammy Awards a star studded performance. And Mitch Winehouse insists the newspaper did the right thing by publishing the harrowing footage. He says, "Thanks must go to The Sun for publishing the drugs video that helped turn my daughter’s life around. Amy really wanted to get better herself this time, that was the most important factor in any recovery."But The Sun showing a film of Amy at her lowest gave her that extra kick she needed. The video turned out to be a blessing, as it led to my daughter going into rehab." And Mitch is convinced the star will complete her comeback at the forthcoming Brit Awards on February 20th. He adds, "The Grammys were Amy’s first goal and her next is to go to the Brit Awards, where she wants to be well enough to appear in person."
