Winehouse expected to bounce back

Amy Winehouse's former backing dancer Heshima Thompson has claimed that the singer will bounce back from her recent troubles.

Thompson said that Winehouse will receive a warm welcome from the public when she returns with her third album, expected to be released in 2009.

"I feel that she's in good hands - she's in really good hands," Thompson explained. "People come up to me and they just genuinely want to know if she's going to be okay. People love her. It's amazing that she's got so much support."

Winehouse will take a break from live performances in September to battle her drug addiction. Her father Mitch has stated that she needs to "relax" away from the public eye.
