London
(ANI):
Troubled
singer
Amy
Winehouse
is
to
be
studied
as
part
of
a
new
university
degree
course.
The
singer's
musical
career
has
been
blighted
by
drug
addiction.
She
is
rumoured
to
be
divorcing
husband
Blake
Fielder-Civil,
26,
who
was
this
week
sent
back
to
prison
after
failing
a
routine
drugs
test.
The
highs
and
lows
of
25-year-old"s
life
will
be
used
as
a
''set
text''
on
the
music
course
at
the
University
of
the
West
of
Scotland.
The
'Rehab'
hitmaker's
record
company,
Island,
will
provide
teaching
materials
on
the
diploma
and
degree-level
course.
"Amy
Winehouse
is
a
great
example
of
the
potential
pitfalls
in
the
music
industry," the
Telegraph
quoted
Allan
Dumbreck,
music
course
leader
from
the
University
of
the
West
of
Scotland,
as
telling
The
Times.
"She
is
recognised
as
a
multi-award-winning
great
artist.
But
the
by-product
of
that
lifestyle
can
be
stress
and
illness.
We
would
look
at
how
the
industry
is
often
not
a
supporter
of
longevity.
"Island
have
offered
us
the
original
marketing
plans
for
artists
like
Bob
Marley,
which
offer
students
a
fascinating
insight
into
the
industry,"
Dumbreck
added.
