Amy Winehouse to write & sing the bond theme tune - if she kicks the drugs

February 7 2008

Amy WinehouseTroubled Amy Winehouse will get to write the theme tune and sing the theme tune for the new James Bond movie - if she can stay off the drugs for two months, it has been revealed.

The 'Back to Black' songstress - who's currently battling her drugs demons in a London rehab clinic - has been told by film bosses she must clean up her act by April to make the record.

A source said last night: "That’s when the Bond people make a final decision on who sings the theme. If Amy is clean then, it’s hers.”

Yesterday, the 24-year-old soul diva escaped rehab for a few hours - and was given the boost by film bosses - despite some people around her doubting she would be fit enough to even sing the song let alone write it.

An insider said of the new film, Quantum Of Solace, starring Daniel Craig as the suave spy: "It will have a dark and moody feel so Amy would be absolutely perfect.

"It’s another fantastic carrot being dangled to encourage her to give up drugs."

Previous singers of the Bond theme tune include Madonna, Paul McCartney, Duran Duran, Sheryl Crow & Garbage.

Last night, the bee-hived star was still waiting on tenterhooks to hear if she'll be allowed a US visa to attend Sunday's prestigious Grammy Awards in L.A. - where's she up for an impressive SIX awards.

Amy also paid a visit to her incarcerated hubby Blake Fielder-Civil, who's locked up in London's Pentonville prison awaiting a court appearance over assault and trial-fixing allegations.

She also went to a restaurant with her cab driver dad Mitch, 57, and pals.

At one point she reportedly headed for the bar, telling staff: "I’ve just got out of rehab - I’m dying for a tequila."
