Roger Daltrey lends his support to Amy Winehouse's family

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has lent his support to Amy Winehouse's family.

Amy's father - who's currently helping the troubled singer battle her addiction to drugs, revealed: "Roger phoned me yesterday and we talked about his experiences of drug addiction in his family, it’s a great support knowing people care."

The 24-year-old 'Rehab' star has received offers of support from other celebrity pals, including Sadie Frost and Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Amy and Kelly Osbourne are best friends, and the family has offered her the use of a self-contained bungalow in the grounds of their sprawling country mansion.

Amy’s pal Pete Doherty also visited the singer in rehab, says Mitch: "I was upset because he’s not the ideal person to have around when someone’s got a drug issue.

"But I have to be honest; he was completely charming when I met him. He and Amy were sitting on the bed playing their guitars together and there were absolutely no drugs at all between them."

Mitch believes Amy’s drug problems began last year when she got together with husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Before getting together with Blake - who's currently locked up in London's Pentonville prison - Amy, 24, had told her dad she thought class A drugs were 'for mugs'. He said: "He’s not entirely responsible, she’s got to take a portion of the responsibility, but it’s clear, it really kicked off when they got together."

"It would be foolish for me to say he’s the ideal son in law. In an ideal world I’d have loved Amy to marry a doctor or a lawyer or something like that, but I don’t think that would happen with Amy," he tells Britain's Closer magazine.

"I’ve come to learn a bit more about Blake and his background and to a certain extent he’s just as much of a victim as Amy. He had a problematic upbringing, he moved out of home at 16 and was homeless in London at 18. That’s why I do have sympathy for him.

"Blake’s got the chance now to prove how much he really loves Amy by staying drug free. Their marriage can’t survive if they’re together on drugs. One or both will die, that’s all there is to it."
