Amy Winehouse's father was so sure the star would die of a drugs overdose earlier this year, he had already penned a speech for her funeral.
The 'Rehab' singer was admitted to a London hospital last August after reportedly taking a cocktail of drugs.
Taxi driver Mitch was driven to prepare his memorial speech because he feared Winehouse would not survive the health scare, and he has blasted his troubled daughter's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, for her downfall.
He told the Daily Star Sunday: "I wrote a eulogy for Amy myself last month. When she had her seizure and was taken to hospital, I really thought that could be it.
"The doctors told us even a whiff of another drug could kill her. When I found out Blake had given her more drugs, I couldn't believe it. It was as bad as someone holding a gun to my daughter's head."
Dad Mitch urged the singer to check in to rehab and finally beat her drug addictions, but he fears that Blake is stopping her from getting help.
He said: "Blake is a bad influence on her and I no longer toe the line and pretend he isn't. Amy is responsible for her own actions but, until he came along, she was staunchly against hard drugs.
"For Amy and Blake to beat their drug problems they have to go into rehab separately and he won't let her do that. I don't care about his health at all, other than because my Amy's happiness relies on it. In the end, she's my daughter. She's very strong and I love her. I trust she will be all right."
Meanwhile Rolling Stone’s guitarist Ronnie Wood has advised Winehouse to stop associating herself with "losers".
The guitarist claimed that making friends with sensible people would be the best way for Winehouse to leave her addictions behind permanently.
He told Sky News: "You wish you could help them really. People like Amy should know how great they are, but often when you're living right in the middle of it, it's very hard to see what you have to offer.
"It has to come within her really, she has to feel more confident in herself. Hang out with winners, I think. No use hanging out with losers and dealers otherwise you'll end up in the sink."
