Police have charged a man and a woman in London with supplying drugs to soul diva Amy Winehouse.
The charges stem from a video that appeared to show the singer smoking crack cocaine. London police say John Blagrove and Cara Burton have been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and MDMA, also known as ecstasy.
The suspects were released on bail Thursday until their next court appearance on July 1.
Police began an investigation after photos from the footage were published in The Sun newspaper in January. Detectives say Winehouse will not be charged in the case.
The singer has seen her rise to fame overshadowed by media attention to her turbulent private life. She is best known for her breakthrough hit "Rehab."
