Oft-troubled pop diva Amy Winehouse was admitted to the emergency room at University College Hospital in London on Monday (July 28), suffering from an adverse reaction to medication, a spokeswoman for the 24-year-old singer told MTV News. She will be kept under observation overnight and is likely to be released on Tuesday.
According to the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph, Winehouse was wheeled out of her North London apartment at approximately 8:40 p.m. local time, wrapped in a blanket and receiving oxygen. Her father, Mitch Winehouse, was by her side.
Winehouse's hospital visit is the latest in a string of health scares for the admitted drug user, who, according to her father, was recently diagnosed with early stage emphysema. It is unknown whether her emphysema, an irreversible and degenerative condition exacerbated by smoking, had anything to do with her most recent collapse.
Either way, it's been a bad year health-wise for Winehouse, who just two months ago fainted at home, precipitating a hospital visit. Winehouse was also admitted into rehab for drug addiction this past January.
Winehouse's latest medical mishap comes just a week after her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was sentenced to 27 months in jail after being convicted of assault and obstruction of justice. Winehouse was interviewed about the incident but not charged.
