Amy Winehouse vows to change
Troubled star Amy Winehouse has vowed to make changes in her life, following last week's hospital dash.

The Rehab singer was rushed to the London University College hospital in the early hours of Wednesday morning, after she collapsed from a drug overdose. As well as smoking heroin, the 23-year-old had taken cocaine, ecstasy pills and horse tranquilliser ketamine, while on a night out in London.

"It was just crazy - one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I don't know how to explain what happened. I don't really know myself," Amy told the News of the World. "I can't remember what I looked like. I couldn't recognise myself. It was terrifying - I was terrified.

"I was so out of control. It just happened. It shocked me. I'm sorry - I just don't know what got into me."

Winehouse went to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hook, Hants, after being discharged from hospital. The singer is being supported by her parents Mitch and Janis, who have been trying to get her back on the right track.

"I never want to feel that way again. I've scared myself this time," Amy explained. "I was all over the place. I know things have got to change. I have to sort myself out."

Told that her fans are worried about her, she asked: "Are they? God, I'm OK. Really. I will be back to work on Monday. I have to."
