Eighties pop star Boy George has reached out to troubled singer Amy Winehouse - urging her to turn her back on her "car crash" existence.

The former Culture Club star hates to see the acclaimed soul sensation fritter her talents away in favor of drugs and alcohol. And the star, who has battled his own drug demons over the last three decades, thinks it's time the Rehab star realized how "amazing" she is.

He says, "We think she's amazing and she touches us when she sings and then she's this car crash. The last time I saw Amy Winehouse do anything special was at the Mercury Music Awards, she is amazing but I haven't seen her do anything like it since and I would love to."

And Boy George is desperate for the star to get well - so she can prove the true extent of her talents. He adds, "At the moment she is only working with 10 per cent of what she has and I would like to see how lethal she is when she is working with everything."
