Cancelled!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Amy Winehouse

042407_spn_winehouse092.jpg

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Amy Winehouse's North American tour - with Paolo Nutini opening - was cancelled on Tuesday afternoon.

Her record label has just released the following statement:

"Due to the rigours involved in touring, Amy Winehouse has been advised to postpone her upcoming September US and Canadian tour dates. All ticket holders may obtain refunds at their point of purchase. Amy's European and UK tour dates in October and November remain in place. Plans are being made to reschedule her US tour for early 2008. Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health."

      it's more like the severity of addiction than the rigors of touring. the dirty weasel who composed this statement should be summarily executed, everyone knows amy is fucked up for no good reason. some corporate bastard must have told his pr department: "we've got to say something to save face." not a chance in hell!

      She was born with a fantastic unique voice. Too bad she wasn't taught how to be an adult, work for a living and take care of herself. Apparently she's had problems since her teenage years. I doubt she will ever get clean. She'll be lucky to see 30.

      Singer Darren Hayes arrested

      THE former frontman of Savage Garden, Darren Hayes, has been arrested for an alleged racist attack on a waiter at a Thai restaurant in London.

      Hayes fronted police in London last Friday night, where he was arrested for racially abusing a member of staff at Busaba Eathai in Wardour Street on July 22. The attack did not involve physical violence, but is believed to have been directed at a male member of staff.

      Hayes was released on bail.

      A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We can confirm that a 35-year-old man was arrested by Westminster police on suspicion of racially abusing a member of staff.

      "He was arrested after voluntarily attending a Central London police station by appointment. He has been released on bail pending further enquiries, until the 21st of September."

      The spokesman would not comment further.

      A manager at the Soho restaurant, who did not want to be named, confirmed the incident and said that it involved a verbal attack by Hayes on a member of staff.

      He said restaurant staff reported the incident to police, who took statements on July 23. He said the victim had returned to work, and the matter was now being left in the hands of police.

      The incident follows Hayes's public criticism of the Prime Minister, John Howard, on a visit to Australia a week ago, for his stance on homosexuality.

      Hayes hit out at the need for his partner, Richard Cullen, who he married in London last year, to fly to Australia on a tourist visa.

      "It makes me angry and frustrated," Hayes told News Ltd newspapers. "I'm Australian and the way the law sits I can't bring my partner home as my partner.

      "That to me is an infringement of my civil rights - a very un-Australian thing.

      "I would never have voted for John Howard and I encourage people not to. I don't think he speaks for this country in the same way I don't think George Bush speaks for the US."

      Man, I was really looking forward to seeing her. I was going to see her earlier this year and she cancelled that one too. I hope she gets better, but unfortunately it sounds more and more that this will be something that will get even worse before it gets better. I wish she could understand how soothing her voice and music are to those of us who are tired of the same dumb shit played on the radio nowadays, how important of a person she could be in this music business, but the drugs (and her husband), really got their hold on her.

      Amy must not have much money left….
      or she has a strong distaste for shopping…because every picture of her from this summer, shows her wearing the same ass-ugly kid-shorts (white with that ugly belt) and a 'wife beater'…OH and those ugly white flats….
      gag
      wonder if she washes them….

      52

      I would vote for the pictures taken on the same day. Seeing another picture posted sure says "there she is, walkin' around again" like she's got no right to. But more pictures more $$$$$$ can be made from shaming and hating her.

      Come to think of it, doesn't it seem like Perez is working for the right wing? He shames and hates most of Hollywood, unless he decides they're the "good" people: calls those he doesn't like whores, untalented, undeserving and works to create a mob mentality to increase his power, influence and money. Hmmmmm…… wow…. he almosts sounds religious.

Someone who is sick is someone who can't help themselves. I understand she can't help herself NOW, but SHE MADE HERSELF "SICK". God, stop giving people excuses for their actions! SUCK IT UP.

      73

      I'm sure it is second hand crack - the wind blew it in between the huge gaps in her teeth. Of course it could have just been left on her clothes since doesn't seem to have any others.

      At the rate she is going, nobody will even remember her 6 months or a year from now, she is hot on the trail of becoming another has-been. There are too many talented people who don't need a meth pipe to get them through the day.

      WE DON"T NEED ANY MORE CRACKED OUT, SEMI-TALENTED LOSERS!!!!

      I'm sick of all these drunks and druggies who think it is ok to be a wreck all the time and stagger on stage.

      78

      That really sucks because i really wanted to see her…well Paolo Nutini mostly…and now because she can't handle herself.. she has to let a lot of her fans down. With the gift of being a celebrity you would think anyone would use it wisely…she is a joke sometimes because she doesn't have the work ethic to do this, thats why you see bands and singers who are here for the past 20-30+ years, working hard to get here and staying here. She rose fast and will fall just as fast if doesn't get herself together…how can she be married and take care of someone else when she can't even take care of herself. Its sad! She has had this problem long before being a star so why is she taking it out on her fans…really it gets too old too fast…i really do she gets the help she needs…and makes wise choices in the future…and hopefully Paolo gets out here somehow…love him sooo much.

      This is my first and probably only post on Perez Unless Amy Winehouse is question I will not say anything after this!

      YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKED…you wouldnt know good talent if it hit you across the face with a prince albert studded cock!!! get a life..grow up…you wish you had as much money as Amy Winehouse does to wipe your ass!!!!! You probably all smell ten times worse than amy, sitting behind your computers than she does after 39 shots of sambuca, two injections of heroin, and about a week of chowering in cat piss.

      She's hot and amazing! Like I mean come on day one of the virgin festival is going to be like completely empty now….hmmm M.i.A might draw some in…

      i'm saddened by the people on here that don't recognize a real substance addict. she's not just having a mood or parting too hard in a bratty way like lindsay lohan who is just trying to get attention. this girl is janice joplin disturbed and addicted. i bet she has some real mental demons that go along with her addictions. you can tell she's a real artist- unique, unique style, daring, et cetera. but along with the true artist usually comes the demons and the self-medication to get rid of same. i really feel for her and i understand people are angry- and if you've never known an addict you think they're just being selfish… but, it's not that way. she can't help this much more than, well… i won't say it. but, people should be supportive to her and not judgmental. she needs it. i think she's a great artist, but even if you disagree, she's clearly troubled and she's not just passing through a phase and being selfish and un-dedicated to her work. she's sick. period. it is a health issue- a mental health issue… it's not "spin," it's honest.
