Mitch Winehouse has urged his daughter’s fans to pray for her ex-husband who is fighting for his life after an apparent drink and drug binge.

Blake Fielder-Civil, 30, was found choking in bed by his partner Sarah Aspin last Friday before being rushed to hospital with multiple organ failure.

Mr Winehouse said it was “terrible news”.

Writing on Twitter, he added: “Remember Amy loved him. Let’s pray for his recovery.”

Mr Fielder-Civil, a recovering drug addict, had gone out drinking with a friend the previous day and Ms Aspin, who is mother to his 15-month-old son, said she believed he might have taken an illicit substance.

He was put into an induced coma and is on a life support machine in hospital in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Ms Aspin, 34, who met Winehouse’s former husband in rehab three years ago, told The Sun: “The doctors said they put him in a coma to help him and due to infection.

“I’m praying he’ll survive, but I’m having to prepare myself that he may never wake up.”
