Amy Winehouse Faints But Is Still Extremely Alive People faint all the time. Amy Winehouse just did. Experts theorize it's because her body could temporarily no longer sustain consciousness. We're not doctors or anything, but that sounds about right to us. She was rushed to the hospital either by people that care for her, or by people whose day care, food and houses are all paid for by her career. Reportedly, when coming-to, the only audible thing she said was that she wanted a tattoo and another lump of hair wax to commemorate the occasion. She didn't actually say that. Nobody ever said that.
