Winehouse cancels tour, pining for jailed husband


It has been a busy few weeks for Amy Winehouse. The singer spent a night in the cells in Norway for drug possession, her north London home has been raided by police and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has been placed on remand in Pentonville prison, culminating in a string of increasingly erratic performances.

Amy statement

Amy Winehouse has cancelled all remaining live and promotional appearances for the remainder of the year on the instruction of her doctor. The rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks have taken their toll. In the interests of her health and well-being, Amy has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues.

Amy says - “I can’t give it my all onstage without my Blake. I’m so sorry but I don’t want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it’s just not the same.”

Refunds for the remaining dates will be issued from the point of purchase.

Her family has requested that the media respect Amy’s privacy at this time. There will be no further comment.
