It’s been a quiet few weeks in what regards the troubled life of British singer Amy Winehouse but she’s back in the headlines today, as she is rumored to be suffering from brain damage due to her prolonged drug abuse.

British tabloid The Sun has scary things to tell us about Amy Winehouse’s current health condition. The 24-year-old has reportedly binged on crystal meth and indulged, although the word is too soft, in a 36-hour “marijuana marathon.” The consequence: possible brain damage.

Winehouse reportedly suffered two major overdoses in little over a year and the fact that she survived them both appears to be a surprise for doctors.

According to The Sun, a friend of the singer’s, revealed Monday that Winehouse survived her first overdose in August 2007, when she ingested a deadly cocktail of cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, ketamine and crystal meth.

There were reports at the time concerning the incident and if memory serves me well, the troubled singer even attempted to enter a rehab facility but this was a short-lived experiment.

Her second overdose, the same friend says, occurred in July, when she allegedly inhaled an “inhuman” amount of marijuana. What may have started out as a fun experience ended withy her vomiting uncontrollably and hallucinating.

Amy Winehouse’s self-destructive behavior has long been obvious to the public. It was perhaps vaguely appealing some two years ago, when she first became famous, as she boisterously revealed that she is a “nasty drunk” and that she does not shy away from getting into physical confrontations if she feels the need.

But her rock-chick appeal slowly but surely began to fade as her substance use obviously became substance abuse and started to interfere with her career: many canceled concerts indeed.

Amy Winehouse’s friend told The Sun that doctors are currently worried her recent cannabis overdose may have damaged her brain, as she displayed symptoms usually associated with schizophrenia.

While recovery may still be possible, through an equally prolonged period of medical treatment, “the future is bleak, bleak, bleak,” the friend added.
