Fielder-Civil is apparently set to go to drug rehab

Amy Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was released from Edmunds Hill prison in Suffolk today (November 5), after serving 12 months of a 27-month jail sentence.

Fielder-Civil was serving a sentence for assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice following an assault on an east London pub landlord, James King, in June 2006.

It is believed that the singer's husband is heading to a drug rehab clinic as part of the terms of his release, reports The Daily Mail.

Fielder-Civil reportedly had a chipped tooth and bore red marks on his arms as he left the prison.

Winehouse was at her Camden home when her husband was released. It is unclear when the couple will be reunited.
