Red alert: Amy Winehouse\'s scarlet nose hints that recent troubles are taking their toll

Red alert: Amy Winehouse's scarlet nose hints that recent troubles are taking their toll he's said to be on the verge of finally going to rehab - and as these pictures show Amy Winehouse is in dire need of it.
With a cigarette hanging out of her mouth and her bony frame unsightly in a tiny dress, the troubled singer frightened fans with her appearance on Saturday night.
She had appeared at her third London gig in a week - but her suspiciously red nostril and tired and haggard appearance showed all was not well.
She risked alienating her loyal fans by walking out of yet another concert long before it was due to finish.
With smeared make-up, tattoos and a cigarette clenched between her teeth she looked a long way from one of the UK's most successful performers.
During the concert at the Hammersmith Apollo in London she rambled incoherently and disappeared off stage repeatedly. After boos from the crowd on Saturday night, she left.
The 24-year-old, distraught that husband Blake Fielder-Civil is in custody, also appeared to have a nasty red scab in a nostril. Earlier last week, she was pictured with a white substance lodged in her nose.
The singer, who has previously admitted to a heroin addiction, has claimed she is now clean. But her parents have become increasingly concerned about Fielder-Civil's influence.
Miss Winehouse's mother Janis, 52, said she was glad he was behind bars because it would give her daughter a chance to be weaned off drugs.
Fielder-Civil, 25, has been remanded in custody accused of perverting the course of justice and causing grievous bodily harm.
Friends said she is finally considering checking herself into rehab.
The 24-year-old – who famously sang the lyrics "They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said no, no, no," – has so far shunned proper professional help for her drink and drug abuse, quitting within hours on the few occasions she has enrolled on treatment programmes.
But friends say she is now planning to check into The Priory in the New Year and make a determined effort to end her problems.
There have been some serious talks between Amy and her management, who are trying to convince her that in order to continue her success she needs to sort out her private life.
"Her parents are also trying to persuade her to get some professional help to try to kick her drug habit."
Amy's father Mitch, who recently introduced her to Yogabeats, a yoga-based therapy that can apparently cure crack cocaine habits, is desperate for her to check into a clinic.
Meanwhile, Amy Winehouse's mum, Janis, said she was proud of both her children.
She said: "Like any parent with talented children I'm hugely proud of their achievements but can honestly say I've never pushed or cajoled them into show business. I just want them to be happy.
"I'm not in awe of greatness and don't take special credit for the way their talents have risen to the surface."
Speaking of the relationship between Amy and her brother, Alex, who has just written a Christmas pantomime, she added: "We're a strong family unit and the bond between Amy and Alex is unshakeable. He's always there for her. He's very protective of her and always will be. He doesn't like seeing her hurt or upset.
"He's upset by the current criticism of Amy, as we all are, and has asked her critics to be a bit more understanding in view of her youth."
