It’s sad to see what Amy Winehouse is doing to herself and her career (and to her fans too!).
Here’s a story about how Amy ruined her performance in Birmingham on Thursday (November 15).
Winehouse turned up 45 minutes late on stage, by which time both Amy and the crowd had managed drink themselves in a stupor. Following the crowd booing and slagging her off for being a bit sh!t (well, she was mumbling half of the time), Winehouse broke down in tears on a couple of tracks and was left sobbing on stage. She would then try and hold it together and carry on the show, sometimes bursting into amazing on-form vocals, before blasting swear-fileld rants at the punters.
The whole situation got a little awkward and half of the crowd walked out, muttering about cancelled tours. This was the first show Winehouse has played since her husband was arrested on a charge of Attempting To Pervert The Course Of Justice. [Source]
With her husband in jail, Amy has been dealt another blow after her tour manager quit amid drugs accusations.
Thom Stone walked out on the singer just a day after she had a meltdown during a gig in Birmingham, swearing at fans and falling over on stage.
Mr Stone confirmed he had quit after it was said that he found working with Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil who is currently behind bars, was harming his health.
The last straw was when Amy, 24, and Blake were arrested with cannabis in Norway last month.
The Sun reported today that doctors found heroin in Mr Stone’s system after he inhaled it passively on Amy’s tour bus.
The tour manager is said to have produced a doctor’s note which revealed traces of the class A drug in his blood.
“He insisted to the management team that the only way that could have happened would have been through inhaling it from Blake and Amy. Thom just had it up to here. It was a nightmare job,” the paper reported. [Source]
