Amy Winehouse's record label issue album ultimatum

Amy Winehouse has been issued with a shocking ultimatum by her record label: Keep out of trouble and off the drugs -- or never release another album.

Bosses at Universal have repeatedly told the 24-year-old star she can only record another album if she ditches her deadly drug habit and mends her ways.

Universal chairman Lucian Grainge made a similar threat earlier this year to get her into rehab after a video of her smoking a crack pipe was published by a British tabloid.

But since her stint in rehab, Amy has slipped back into her old ways, and the label have been forced to remind her the conditions of releasing a third record.

A source said: "Amy has been reminded of her responsibilities. Unless she is clean she will not be allowed to release another album.

"She took notice when Lucian talked to her earlier in the year and agreed to go to rehab. But she didn’t take it seriously enough.

"They would never release her from her deal, they would just not put an album out."

It was revealed Saturday that Amy's label are now accepting that she is unlikely to put out a third album until 2009 after she ditched plans to start recording in the Bahamas.

The source added to British newspaper The Sun: "The label were not impressed. She has been warned about her behavior and needs to keep the standards up."
