SINGER Amy Winehouse was feared to be on the brink of a breakdown last night after collapsing with “severe exhaustion”.

Amy, 23, was rushed to a top London hospital where medics spent hours running tests on her.

And our pictures of the hard-drinking star show why her friends are so worried about her health.

They demonstrate how the curvy singer has become a gaunt shadow of her former self in just three years.

A close friend said: “Amy is in a bad, bad way – and she knows it. This morning things looked dicey and it was A & E time, not just a GP thing.

“A lot of us are really worried that her mind and body simply can’t take the abuse. There’s no point being the most talented person in the graveyard.”

Amy had been due to give a string of concerts and perform at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas next month.

But doctors are understood to have ordered her to tear up her diary and concentrate on beating her demons.

A spokesman for the singer said: “Amy was admitted to University College London Hospital, suffering from severe exhaustion. She was discharged in the afternoon and has been advised to take complete rest.

“Scheduled performances in Norway and Denmark this week have been cancelled.”

The Rehab singer, who married Blake Fielder-Civil, 24, earlier this year, has battled drink and eating disorders.

Earlier this year, she appeared drunk on TV’s Charlotte Church Show. She also cancelled two concerts due to exhaustion.

She said: “I have had problems with booze. When I get drunk, I’m a terrible drunk.”
