Read comments from worried fans

Fans of troubled star Amy Winehouse have begged her to get help after she was caught on video apparently smoking crack cocaine.

Footage obtained by The Sun appears to show her inhaling fumes from a crack pipe after a 19-minute drugs binge in which she snorted ecstasy and cocaine and admitted to downing six Valium.

The disturbing images were said to have been filmed during a party at Winehouse's east London home in the early hours of last Friday, hours before she attended a court hearing for husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

He is awaiting trial on charges of assault and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

On the singer's website, fans warned the 24-year-old she will end up dead unless she seeks help.

"Amy, please get some help before it's too late. You are an amazing talent that is going to burn out way too fast," said one.

"That video of you at home which is now doing the rounds will hopefully be instrumental in getting you where you need to be."

The fan quoted the mother of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, warning her not to "join that stupid club" of dead rock stars.

Another wrote: "You are a young woman with a lot of musical talent. Don't throw it all away."

But others were harsher, with one telling Winehouse: "You ain't a legend yet, baby, and - newsflash - you and Blake ain't Sid and Nancy. Time to get a reality check and lose the idiots around you who are supplying you with one hand and making money off you with the other.

"Quit being a loser and get real. Make music and stop snorting away a talent, we're getting sick of paying for it."

According to The Sun, Winehouse snorted powdered ecstasy and cocaine before heading to her bedroom, where she inhaled crack cocaine in front of her wedding photo.

Looking dishevelled and wearing a grubby black vest, she was left barely able to talk.

When friends ask her to go out with them, she is heard to reply: "I'd be useless to you because I've had about six Valium."

A spokesman for the star declined to comment.
