Faithfull: 'Winehouse Needs Praise'

25 February 2009

Sixties icon Marianne Faithfull has urged Amy Winehouse's fans to shower her with praise, insisting her battle with addiction stems from low self-esteem.

Faithfull fought her own battle with drugs in the 1970's and has some wise words of advice for the Grammy-winning recovering addict.

The 62-year-old tells GT magazine, "What am I going to say to her? 'Go back to rehab?' The only thing I can do is give her praise - addiction comes from low self-esteem."

	Amy is a very beautiful and unique lady. Her voice is like no others and she should be grateful for that wonderful talant. The dog crys when I sing and the family begs STOP! You are a continous award winner and you are stronger than you think. You married young so take advantage of being single and go through the phases and stages of life. Be thankful you are like no other and know when drugs are controling you you have gone to far. Challenge yourself to take back the most wonderful gift you have received and that is your life.People love you and your music. Focus on what important to you and who you are. Start living for you not for so many and control you regardless who you are with. You will be surprised if you clean up the poison's from your body others will because you are a role model to sao many. Like who you are!
