Winehouse's mother says she's recovering

Amy Winehouse's mother Janis has spoken about her daughter's Grammy success, saying that she believes the singer is on "the road to recovery".
Winehouse picked up five Grammy awards but could not attend the ceremony in Los Angeles because of visa problems. She performed at the event via satellite from London.
Speaking on 'GMTV', Janis Winehouse said: "Well, as you saw, she looks good and it's a case of she's on the road, and that's what it's about, she's on the road to recovery."
"I think it would have been too much for her because all of the travelling and flying there, I mean seeing what the Grammys was like... we could see it live from there and I thought if Amy were there, she'd be lost in it, she'd be a little girl lost in it."
Speaking about her daughter's Grammys performance, she said: "Well, it's Amy coming back, she's definitely on the way back."
The star's mother also spoke about her fears for her daughter's health before she entered rehab, saying: "She was sort of with it but not with it, and that's the thing where I think fortunately, thank goodness in our family, she's got a solid family and we're all there for her."
