LONDON, May 19 (UPI) -- A video showing troubled British recording artists Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty playing with newborn mice has been posted on the Web site YouTube.

Winehouse and Doherty have made headlines throughout the past year for their various battles with drug addiction and brushes with the law.

The BBC said the 2-minute "Winemouse" video, which was posted on the Internet Friday, is believed to have been shot at Doherty's home.

In the clip, Winehouse can be heard saying she and Doherty have 30 1-day-old mice, the BBC said. The pair is seen picking up the tiny animals and talking to them.

Numerous fans have weighed in on the footage with one posting the message: "Amy is on another planet. And this planet is called the planet of horrifying sadness," while another critic opined: "You make me sad. You threw your talent away Amy. Most people would die for what you have and you ruined your chance. Sooo many people were rooting for you and look at you. So so sad."
