Amy Winehouse is adamant she hasn’t used drugs “in almost three years” – and the former wild-living singer is determined to stay clean.

The Back to Black hitmaker’s addiction to narcotics and alcohol has been well documented over the years and the singer has endured several hospitalisations and treatment attempts.

In 2008, she headed to the Caribbean in a bid to finally shake off her demons and returned to her native London eight months later insisting she was clean.

She tells Britain’s Glamour magazine, “I’m much healthier now. I used to use drugs and I haven’t used drugs in almost three years. It’s not a hard thing. I literally woke up one day and was like, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore.’”

Amy Winehouse was snapped outside a club in London last night in an array of especially fancy poses. She was at the Forum in London, where ex boyfriend Pete Doherty was playing with his band The Libertines.

Maybe she hated the performance, and that’s why she looks like she’s mid-poo.

Looking a little better than the last time we saw her, Amy Winehouse hit a Camden restaurant opening with her boyfriend Reg Traviss.

Amy is set to release her new album next year, and said it would be very similar to her 2006 record Back To Black.

She said: ‘The album will be six months at the most.

‘It’s going to be very much the same as my second album, where there’s a lot of jukebox stuff and songs that are – just jukebox, really.’

But Amy denied rumours she is planning to collaborate with edgy singer Lady Gaga on the new record, saying the reports are ‘not true at all’.

It has originally been reported Gaga had offered to help Amy with her comeback, with a source telling the National Enquirer: ‘Lady Gaga sees Amy as a kindred spirit – the British bad girl and the American bad girl!’

In other Amy news, her comeback album is set to drop in January!

It has been nearly four years since the British singer released her multi-Grammy Award-winning Back to Black record. During her time off from the music business, Amy has battled drug and alcohol addictions and married and then divorced Blake Fielder-Civil.

Now clean and sober and dating a new man, Winehouse is preparing to go into the recording studio again. She has reportedly written enough material for “three separate albums” but will choose just 14 tracks for her long-awaited comeback. She has promised her record label the LP will be better than anything she has done before.

“It’s been an incredible past few weeks for Amy. She has completely turned her life around,” an insider told British newspaper The Daily Mirror.

“It has been a long time coming – and she’s been writing songs for what seems an eternity – but finally Amy is satisfied and believes she has an album worthy of a four-year wait.

“She’s held meetings with the record label, Universal, and they are putting everything into promotion.”

Winehouse’s as-yet-unnamed record is due to hit stores worldwide in January 2011. It is said to be “very personal”, containing several tracks about her heartbreak over her split from Blake, and others about her battle with alcohol and drug abuse.

“A lot of the material covers her romance with Blake Fielder Civil and their acrimonious split, plus, of course, her battle with the booze and drugs,” the source continued.

“It is very raw and very personal – it promises to be another classic. She is now narrowing down the material and hopes it’ll be on shelves by the new year.”

Can’t wait to hear it!
