In a total MacGyver move, Amy Winehouse's hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, reportedly helicoptered Winehouse from a British (not U.S., as was previously reported) rehab facility and delivered her to London for a brain scan.

A brain scan?

According to reports, doctors informed Winehouse that she may have undiagnosed epilepsy. The troubled singer suffered a seizure during her admitted drug overdose last week. Just yesterday, sales of her 'Back to Black' album cracked the one million mark.

UPDATE: TMZ reports that Winehouse has returned to treatment. Her publicist released the following statement: "Amy Winehouse is putting all her touring commitments for this month on hold until further notice in order to address her health issues. Amy will now not be performing at this weekend's V Festival in Chelmsford and Staffordshire. Her family has requested that the media respect Amy's privacy at this time."

Amy, from the bottom of our beer-soaked hearts, we wish you a speedy recovery.
