Amy Winehouse will reportedly spend New Year's Eve in hospital.
The singer is believed to have been persuaded by concerned family and friends to seek medical attention after she spent the majority of the Christmas period drinking heavily alone while suffering from a chest infection.
A source said: "Amy is in a bit of a state at the moment, she's feeling very sad and lonely. She is also extremely emotional. She's spent a lot of time over Christmas at home on her own drinking.
"Amy's been battling an acute chest infection for weeks and it's really starting to take a toll on her health. Amy has wound herself up into such a state she knows her best place for her is in the hospital. She needs to dry out and stop drinking."
The 26-year-old - who recently angered her family by getting back with ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil - allegedly collapsed at home because of the illness, which is said to have been aggravated by the stress of her arrest for assault at a theatre earlier this month.
A friend explained: "The last week has been a massive setback for Amy who was really turning a corner. Everyone in her camp is shocked by what has happened. But their main concern is making sure she feels better. Then she can throw herself into her music. The new year isn't getting off to the best start but Amy is determined and she'll keep looking forward."
