Amy Winehouse's father fears the troubled singer will die a "slow and painful death".

"I want people to understand, even if they give her one cigarette they're causing her harm," Mitch told Sky News. "She has got a serious health problem. My biggest fear is that she would die and she won't die from an overdose, she will die from emphysema.

"We would be talking about a very slow and painful death, gasping for air. I would like to say to anybody who would supply her with substances to think about that."
