Amy Winehouse's mother is confident her daughter will one day resurrect her flagging career - and defy critics who claim the troubled star is heading for an early grave. Janis Winehouse, 53, believes her daughter's craving for "constant drama" led to her drug addiction.

But she is convinced the Rehab hitmaker will eventually overcome her problems to make a triumphant career comeback.

She tells British newspaper the Daily Mail, "I don't think she's totally lost control. She's a girl who lives on the edge; she toys with it. But she has an awareness of it, too - and that will save her in the end. Maybe it's because I'm her mother, but I think Amy will have a resurrection, and everyone will say: 'I thought she was going to kill herself - but here she is.'"
