Was 'Rehab' on the setlist?
Feel like it's been a while since you've heard sad news about Amy Winehouse? (Translation: four days.) Well, the troubled, 24-year-old soul singer is back in the news after a disastrous performance Wednesday in Birmingham, England to kick off a 17-date tour. Winehouse reportedly arrived late, stumbled around, slurred her words, fell into the guitar stand, dropped the microphone, etc. etc. Fans weren't having it. The crowded booed and marched out and generally considered the show a "disgrace."
Winehouse's apparent issues with drug and alcohol abuse, and with her hard-partying and allegedly abusive husband Blake Fielder-Civil, suggest to us that maybe she isn't ready to return to the stage. Certainly fans would rather a show be canceled and their money refunded than show up for a concert as atrocious as Winehouse's. And the singer wasn't exactly gracious to the fans, either.
"First of all, if you're booing, you're a mug for buying a ticket," she told the audience. "Second, to all those booing, just wait till my husband gets out of incarceration -- and I mean that."
In other words, sounds like a pretty terrible night for everyone involved.
Do you think Winehouse should take a break to recover? Do you think she'll get it together, and if so, when? What's the worst concert you've ever been to?
