Amy Winehouse discharged from London hospital

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Soul-singer Amy Winehouse was released from University College Hospital in London on Tuesday, according to media report Wednesday.

The 24-year-old troubled singer was rushed there on Monday night for what her spokesman said was an adverse reaction to medication.

"She had a bit of a scare yesterday because of a reaction to treatment. She was kept in overnight purely for observation," said her representative Chris Goodman. "Amy is fine and she is on her way home."

Her rep said the incident was part of her struggle to get clean of drug.

"She was taking a new [medication] as part of her anti-drug treatment program," said Goodman, " And it was an adverse reaction to that new drug."

Goodman said Winehouse is going to continue writing her new album after performing a few summer festivals.

BEIJING, July 29 (Xinhuanet) -- A reaction to medication sent Amy Winehouse by ambulance to London's University College Hospital Monday night but she was expected to be released by Tuesday morning, representatives said.

"Doctors have advised that she will be kept under observation overnight and is likely to be released tomorrow," read a statement released by Goodman and Tracey Miller, the 24-year-old's U.S.-based publicist.

It was the second time in as many months that Winehouse has been in the hospital. She was admitted to a London clinic in June after collapsing at home, and father Mitch Winehouse said at the time she had developed early stage emphysema from smoking cigarettes and crack cocaine.
