Painfully thin Amy is shortlisted for Mercury Music Prize
Last updated at 07:59 19 July 2007
Loved-up singer Amy Winehouse is pictured a shadow of her former self on the day she should have been celebrating her nomination for the Mercury Music Prize.
The star's once curvy figure has been reduced to just skin and protruding bone. The pictures emerged as it was announced her second album, Back To Black, had been shortlisted for the most coveted prize in the music industry. She will battle it out with artists including The Arctic Monkeys, The Klaxons and Dizzee Rascal.

Dressed in her favourite body-baring denim hotpants and vest, as Amy arrived at a London train station with husband Blake Fielder-Civil she unwittingly revealed just how dangerously thin she has become.
Amy put on a bizarre display for commuters at Paddington station when she got down on her knees to readjust her famous beehive do.
She rifled through her bag for a brush and mirror, and ended up a good three inches taller after clumping a few more fistfuls of matted hair together on top of her head.
As she bent over, the 23-year-old singer looked worryingly thin as bones protruded from her lower back.
Onlookers say she nearly missed her train as her husband Blake Fielder-Civil stormed off after a tiff. But a close-to-tears Amy finally managed to persuade him to join her in the first class carriage of the train.
Amy was on her way to Cornwall, where she is to perform at the Eden Project tonight.
Once she arrived in Cornwall the singer wasted little time in sparking up a fag at the station, thus risking a £50 fine, while her fiance Blake Fielder-Civil opened up a can of lager.
"I'm looking forward to the gig," she said, before adding mysteriously: "I'm really here to get a Maori face tattoo."
A female friend waiting to meet Amy at the station said: "We were worried she was going to do a Charles Kennedy and light up on the train but she was good."

The former Lib-Dem leader sparked up a fag up on a train on the same route and was ticked off by a guard after flouting the smoking ban earlier this month.
Amy's increasingly chaotic behaviour, which has seen her fail to show for several gigs, has drawn unflattering comparisons between herself and drug addict rocker Pete Doherty.
Winehouse cancelled two recent gigs following consultations with doctors, but despite disappointing fans, she has been seen drinking with friends and buying alcohol at an off-licence.
Now bookmakers William Hill are offering odds on whether Winehouse will actually make her scheduled appearance at the Eden Sessions in Cornwall on July 17th.
A spokesperson for William Hill said: "Amy has cancelled too many gigs for us not to give out odds...she'll have to sort herself out for that and I can't see it happening."
