Mick Jagger has stuck up for troubled singer Amy Winehouse and insisted that she will get over her recent alcohol and drug problems.

The 'Back to Black' singer has recently had to attend rehab and cancel a string of performances because of her alleged addiction to drugs.

But the Stones frontman has claimed she will emerge a stronger person because of what she's been through.

He said: "I think everyone goes through this sort of thing when they become very famous. Hopefully Amy will come out of the other side with equanimity and a new lease of life."
