Amy Winehouse scraps North American tour Wed Aug 22, 7:45 AM ET


NEW YORK - Amy Winehouse has put her North American tour on hold, raising more concerns about her health. "Due to the rigors involved in touring, Amy Winehouse has been advised to postpone her upcoming September U.S. and Canadian tour dates," the British singer's publicist, Tracy Miller, said in a statement Tuesday.


"Amy's European and U.K. tour dates in October and November remain in place. Plans are being made to reschedule her U.S. tour for early 2008. Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health."

Last week, it was announced that the 23-year-old was canceling all her August performances due to "severe exhaustion." While British tabloids have claimed the retro-soul singer has been in rehab due to drug abuse, her spokeswoman has denied such claims.

Winehouse made her U.S. debut this year with the acclaimed album "Back to Black," but her celebrity has been fueled by her tabloid image as much as her talent. She's spoken openly about her past battles with drugs and her penchant for alcohol and marijuana, and her hit single "Rehab" is an autobiographical tale of her resistance to being pushed to go to rehab: "They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said no, no, no."

Winehouse was scheduled to appear at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 9 in Las Vegas, but it is unclear if she will be on hand for the event.

Amy Winehouse scraps North American tour - Yahoo! News

i hope she shows up at the VMAs!!!

at least I got to see her though.

I saw her in May at a small venue so I cant complain. She's gotten so big its put me off a bit.
It frusterates me so much how all these rockstars/celebrities just fuck it all up with drugs.

Newsflash, she's been fucked up on drugs long BEFORE she got big.

:rollseyes:

good. I hope she gets herself together and tours like crazy, I love this woman, and hope she gets herself together and pulls off a insanely awesome show.

Do you have to be a total fuck-up to be famous these days? Or I guess you can also adopt kids from the third world.

But it's mostly all Lohan, Britney Spears, Doherty, Paris & Nicole, Amy Winehouse.

I wish they would get on with whatever they're supposed to be famous for or just fucking die already. Or go far, far the fuck away.

difference is that amy has talent, the rest of them don't.

it isn't a matter of talent.

if britney was releasing music and people were enjoying it, fair enough. it becomes irrelevant that she can't sing as well as amy.

but they aren't actually doing anything. and if they are, i doubt they're doing their best work when they can't go five minutes without getting fucked up.

Amy Winehouse in bloody hotel brawl with junkie husband
By RICHARD SIMPSON and CLEMMIE MOODIE - More by this author » Last updated at 00:15am on 24th August 2007


Bloody and battered after ripping into each other during a drug-fuelled row, this is Amy Winehouse, the cream of Britain's young singing talent, and her junkie husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

Stumbling around the streets of London at 4.45am, the pair bore the wounds of an almighty row which spiralled wildly out of control.

They have been holed up in a suite at a five-star hotel in Soho for the past three days after checking out of rehab for crack and heroin addiction.

The fight in the early hours of yesterday left 23-year-old Miss Winehouse with blood staining her pink ballet shoes and the knees of her jeans.

Purple bruises could be seen on the side of her neck and her knuckles were swollen.

But her 24-year-old husband appeared to have come off a lot worse - with cuts and scratches on both cheeks and around his neck.

Before the big fight, the singer had made a solo trip out of the hotel at 11pm, walking a few yards down the road to meet and hug a girl in her 20s before returning alone.

An eyewitness said it appeared the girl handed over some kind of small package to Miss Winehouse as they hugged.

Walking wounded: Amy, with first aid dressings on her left arm, leaves the shop after buying cigarettes
The singer returned to her hotel room and within hours other guests complained of raised voices, clattering furniture and screaming.

Shortly afterwards, the concierge was called.

Miss Winehouse, who has a history of self-harming, had asked for medical assistance to patch up cuts on her arm.

At around 2.30am, said guests, the fight sounded like it had restarted - then Miss Winehouse was seen sprinting down the corridor to the lift, pursued by her badly bleeding husband.

One guest who got into the lift to reception at the same time said they started shouting at each other. "Amy was in floods of tears. This guy was screaming at her.

"She was cowering in the corner and I thought he was going to hit her. When the lift door opened, she took off across the lobby at a real pace.

"He was chasing after her and was about five paces behind by the time she got to the main hotel entrance."

The couple then dashed into the street.

An eyewitness said: "Just after 3am, Amy came sprinting out and down the road.

"She was in a real state of panic. Blake was running after her, but couldn't catch up.

"Amy was so hell-bent on getting away from him that she ran into the middle of the street and flagged down a random car that happened to be full of girls.

"She was saying, 'Quickly, I have to get in, I have to get away, please help me'.

"Her voice was breaking, you could tell she was scared.

"The car drove off at speed and ended up about a mile away at Charing Cross station. Amy got out and went into a 24-hour shop to buy cigarettes.

"She was looking completely out of her head. Blake ran after the car for a while. He spent the next halfhour or so wandering around in a daze with blood over his face, looking in doorways for her, shouting her name out.

"Eventually, he got through to her on the mobile.

"There were a lot of tears and shouting, but they calmed down and met up at around 4am and slowly walked back to the hotel arm-in-arm. They got back at 4.45am."

Later yesterday, Miss Winehouse's father Mitch checked into the hotel and was expected to be joined by Blake's parents Giles and Georgette for crisis talks.

Earlier this month, before the pair checked into a rehab clinic in Essex, similar family crisis talks in Hampshire erupted into a bitter row.

Amy should be able to kick that fucker's ass. I didn't know she was on crack though...

2 things: even tho MTV sucks more than a cheap whore on a Friday night, it IS nice that the VMAs are in Spet again (the start of the school year was always marked with the VMA's and the end in June with then Movie Awards, classic!! When it was still decent!! )

And #2: Does anyone else find it ironic & amusing that her last name is Winehouse? Unless it's a stagename, but I doubt it based on...uhhh...nothing.

Doherty has been consistent in releasing music and rather good but underrated music which has taken a back seat to his bullshit. So you might want to exclude him from the above mentioned list.
