Amy Winehouse Moving To St. Lucia

Camden just lost its resident crackhead.

Amy Winehouse has fallen so in love with the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, the Grammy Award-winning crooner is planning to move there permanently.

Tabloid spies say St. Lucia has had such a positive effect on her recovery from her heroin and crack cocaine addictions, she is looking to put down roots there, and has been spotted househunting with her dad, Mitch Winehouse over the past few weeks.

A pal of the 25-year-old singer tells The Sun, “Mitch and Amy have been looking at property while he has been in St. Lucia. They saw a few potential places this weekend.”

“Amy loves it over there and being away from it all has helped her hugely in the fight against drugs.”

The friend adds, “She has been drinking and smoking cannabis, but is still a million times better than she was in Camden. Her family thinks the best way to keep her out of trouble is to have a house in the suburbs and a place in the Caribbean where she can totally get away.”
