So, this just in, Sunday one of the most devastating pieces of news we’ve heard in a while. 24-year-old gorgeous singer Amy Winehouse, who has already had a slew of problems in the form of drugs and smoking, has just been announced to have emphysema. Now, this is the same disease that killed Johnny Carson, so it’s sad to see such a well-known personality also have the same disease.

According to what her father has said, she collapsed at her home on Monday after she’d just signed some autographs, and was then rushed to a hospital. It wasn’t until Sunday evening that the news was finally broken that her condition is grave enough that unless she quits the drugs and the smoking, she’ll be wearing an oxygen mask and her days will be numbered. What does this mean for Winehouse’s singing career exactly? Will she keep going and just see what happens as usual or will she really take note this time, stop the drugs, the drinking and the smoking and realize that this is really a serious matter. We are talking life and death here, not about going to the Grammy’s.

We’re just not sure what she will do but we hope she keeps pushing and can be a positive influence on others.
