Boy George urges Winehouse to get clean

Boy George has urged troubled singer Amy Winehouse to kick her drug habit.

The '80s icon earlier warned George Michael to "get clean" following his latest drug-related arrest in London.

The singer told The Times: "When I look at Amy and George, I know where they are, I know what they are. I know what it's like to be clacking, sweaty and chaotic and to have no clarity."

The 47-year-old was addicted to heroin and cocaine in the 1980s and later described how he spent subsequent years in a "chemical cloud".

He added that Winehouse and Michael should "seek the wisdom to soothe the soul".
