Amy Winehouse was hospitalized on Monday afternoon after she fainted at her home in London due to unknown causes. MTV.com reported.

"Amy was at home this afternoon when she briefly fainted. Fortunately, her manager's assistant was there to stop her falling. She quickly recovered and her father took her to hospital as a precaution. " a statement from the singer's US publicist reads.

Before the incident, Winehouse, 24, had been signing autographs for Canadian fans who had been camped outsider her house all day.
It is not the first health scare for the troubled singer, whose gaunt appearance, scratched-up arms and alleged drug abuse issues have caused concern for her well-being in the past.

She was admitted to a London hospital last year suffering from what was called "severe exhaustion" amid reports that she was enrolled in a rehabilitation clinic to deal with drug abuse. She has later been checked into rehab in January.

The latest scare comes just a few days after Winehouse flew to Moscow for a reported USD 2 M to give a private concert at the opening of an art gallery run by the girlfriend of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
