Amy Winehouse Cancels Shows After Disastrous Belgrade Concert…But Is Two Weeks Enough? (Video)
Posted by Gabz under concerts , hmmm....? , life beyond rap , sigh.... , videos[25] Comments
Amy Winehouse’s concert in Belgrade was supposed to be her triumphant return to the stage. Instead, the troubled star stumbled on stage, mumbling through songs…disappointing fans and eliciting boos in the process. This behavior is nothing new but after checking out of rehab on June 2, everyone had hoped Winehouse was finally ready to get back to music.
Not surprisingly, Winehouse reps say she’s canceling all future tour dates until July 8: “…She has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home. She would like to apologize to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do.“
MissInfo:
These video clips from Amy’s delirious performance that Gabz collected are almost unwatchable. You can tell she has absolutely no clue where she is, what is expected of her, even the natural human instinct to flee is gone. She keeps hugging the band, who look horrified and helpless. At one point she sits on a speaker with her back to the crowd. But she also smiles as if nothing is off.
Winehouse’s management reportedly banned alcohol on every floor of the Belgrade Hyatt they stayed in. And Tuborg festival organizers say the singer arrived on time for her performance, but got onstage an hour late. So somewhere in between, Amy must have gotten a hold of some really strong drink or drugs.
Canceling shows for 2.5 weeks is ridiculous! What is that gonna do? Maybe she’ll be just clean enough to prop onstage and collect her checks…but at what cost?
(Update: most of the videos from Amy’s performance have been removed but this one gives you an idea of how bad things got on stage).
Check out those boos at the 0:45 seconds mark! Her fans were not happy…She doesn’t even bother singing “Back to Black,” instead just speaking the words.
Watch more of Amy Winehouse’s painful performance…
after the jump…
Amy Winehouse performs the ironically titled “Addicted.” At the 0:51 mark she admits, “I can’t remember the words!” Then just stands with her arms crossed while her poor backing singers try to pick up the slack.
Amy spends the majority of “Just Friends” hugging her band members who encourage her to get back to performing, then turns her back to fans as she finally begins the song.

I’m still hoping we can get a happy ending out of her. Back To Black was a masterful debut in my opinion and I’m anticipating the follow-up, but only after she gets the help she needs.

“Frank” was the debut, and actually better to me than BtB but I love them both, and wish her wellness, and peace.

Sorry about that. BTB was the first time I heard her at least so I guess that shows I’m green. Thanks for the tip!

Looks like she gained some weight. Baby steps? That band probably sounded incredible live too. Shame.

Amy Winehouse IS Hip-Hop Shun! 6 degree separation from ?uestlove, Mark Ronson, Ghostface, Jay-Z, Mos Def, Pharoh Monch amd notably Nas (Single: “Me & Mr. Jones”).
Check Amy’s stats. Do Your Homework. Do that, before you get on here displaying musical ignorance and get ‘Info’ all aggie.
Onsie.

This is sad on so many level and here I am thinking she was really going to make a change for the better.
BTW Miss Info what is with Universal putting you on their “blacklist” for piracy, the article is over at techdirt. Don’t they know internet is the new way to promote music SMH.

I think it’s really sad. When we see transcendent talent fail we all et disappointed as fans. Winehouse is (maybe was) such a transcendent artist when she first stepped on the scene. Adele is having a boatload of success with this past album. She is honestly doing what Winehouse should’ve been doing a long time ago. Just a shame

this is a shame. it’s a waste of talent. i know that addiction is no laughing matter, but how much sympathy am i supposed to have for someone who threw away all the talent in the world? this is like britney spears, charlie sheen, etc. people give these white celebs chance after chance after chance…not tryna stir anything up, just calling it like i see it…as far as being hip hop, i dunno…she seems to just be imitating soul singers of the sixties…saying she’s hip hop might be overstating it a bit… she’s drugged THEE FUCK out, let’s just say she’s rock and roll. lol.
