The award winning Winehouse has battled drug and alchol problems for years even before her massive 2007 acclaimed Mark Ronson produced album, Back to Black was released. Recently Winehouse has staggered to get the recognition she once held. Winehouse in recent months has been boo-ed off stage, has cancelled appearances and has become an enigma in the studio in terms of a follow up to Back to Black.
Taking to twitter, some celebs have tweeted:
