Amy Winehouse tour cancelled
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 22 June 2011
So, no surprise here then, Amy Winehouse has cancelled the rest of her European tour after someone decided the local newspaper review of her Serbian show last weekend – “the worst concert in the history of Belgrade” – probably wouldn’t look good on the poster.
As previously reported, Winehouse, clearly not on top of any of her addictions, fell about the stage, repeatedly hugged her band, and mumbled incoherent lyrics into her microphone at the Belgrade show, leaving an initially supportive crowd jeering and booing.
Many wondered if Winehouse’s very brief stint in The Priory’s London clinic in May to “get back in control of her drinking” would be enough, and clearly it wasn’t. A spokesman, confirming the cancelled tour yesterday, said the singer would now be “given as long as it takes” to return to her best.
Of course that might require a time machine. Still, one hopes somebody somewhere can help the singer control her addictions and get back in the studio and on stage one day.
