Winehouse's dad wrote funeral eulogy
Amy Winehouse's dad has admitted that he wrote a eulogy in preparation for the possible funeral of his daughter.

The singer's father claims that he was bracing himself for the worst possible outcome when he heard she had been taken to hospital following a drugs overdose in August.

Taxi driver Mitch told the Daily Star: "I know newspapers have obituaries ready for people - well, I'd written one.

"When Amy had her seizure and was taken to hospital, I really thought that could be it. The doctors told us even a whiff of another drug could kill her."

Mitch has blamed his daughter's husband Blake Fielder-Civil for her drug problems, commenting: "When I found out Blake had given her more drugs, I couldn’t believe it. It was as bad as someone holding a gun to my daughter’s head."
