Answer 1

The father-in-law of best-selling British singer Amy Winehouse urged fans on Tuesday to stop buying her music as a way of helping her and her husband to stop abusing drugs.

Giles Fielder-Civil told BBC Radio 5 that Winehouse and his son Blake had become drug addicts and were in "abject denial."

"It seems to be accepted that rich rock stars take drugs. But rich rock stars who take drugs die," he said, adding that he feared for the lives of the young couple.

British tabloid newspapers have closely chronicled the increasingly chaotic lifestyle of the singer, who was recently photographed bruised and with blood stains on her shoes.

Fielder-Civil said he believed the couple, who married in May, were taking cocaine, crack cocaine and possibly heroin.

"We would urge Amy's fans to send a message to Amy that her addiction and her behavior is not acceptable.

"Perhaps it's time to stop buying records ... because by doing that, it affects the record company and then the record company may take notice."
