Amy Winehouse has taken up Buddhism.
The troubled star - who doctors reportedly fear could be brain damaged after a recent cannabis overdose - has been inspired by singer Tina Turner to seek solace in the religion.
The 24-year-old singer chants Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, a form of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: 'Amy was introduced to Buddhist chanting by one of her musicians. She chants for 10 minutes in the mornings and just before she sleeps.
'Amy has also been watching the interview clip of Tina Turner chanting on YouTube and she reckons it's already affecting her in a positive way.
'She has a string of Buddhist beads that she chants with, which she keeps in a red silk scarf. She says chanting is filling her life with positivity.'
Amy has endured a turbulent 2008. She has been in and out of rehab, involved in several drunken brawls, seen her husband Blake Fielder-Civil jailed and suffer numerous health problems, including scarring of the lungs.
The 'Rehab' singer is planning to dress up as a mermaid for her performance at the Bestival music festival on the Isle of Wight this weekend, for the '30000 Freaks Under The Sea' fancy dress theme.

Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he wants to play a drag queen in his next movie so he can wear 'loads of eye make-up'. Daniel Radcliffe wants to play a drag queen in his next movie.The 'Harry Potter' star confessed he would love to land the unusual role because it would allow him to dress as a woman and wear make-up. |
He said: 'I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye make-up.'
Daniel admits taking on such a part would be one of the most rebellious things he has ever done.
He revealed: 'I don't pretend to do anything particularly wild. People talk about rebellion and they say, 'Where is the teenage angst?' But I say I try to do it simply by the choices I make in the work I do. I just like wrong-footing people. I write poetry and I love it. I like being different from most other people in my generation.'
Daniel, who is currently single, also revealed he has no interest in finding a girlfriend because he is too busy.
He added to Details magazine: 'Most of my friends have been girls, and I see how they are with their boyfriends and I think, I couldn't do that. I just don't have the time.'
