Winehouse a bit pissed at comeback gig
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 21 December 2010
Amy Winehouse reportedly slurred and stumbled her way through a recent gig in Russia, which isn’t much of a way to start a new chapter in your career.
Some hoped Winehouse’s first proper gigs for quite some time, in Russia and Brazil, might see the singer return to form, but that’s not how it turned out if the Russian media reports The Sun has been reading are true. The tabloid cites Russian reports that Winehouse arrived in good health for her gig but downed a bottle of whisky backstage and so began her set rather worse for wear.
I’m not sure Winehouse is really earning the $450,000 The Sun reckons she will receive for the current string of gigs.
