Singer Amy Winehouse has finally given into pressure from those nearest her to enter a drug rehab program.
An Associated Press story quotes her record label's statement, "Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors...she has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction."
Winehouse has been in rehab before, last August. She was arrested for marijuana possession in Norway the following month.
Her decision comes on the heels of a video released by the UK's The Sun magazine, which appears to show her on a drug binge.
