Amy Winehouse Cancels Fall North American Tour Due to Health Concerns

8/22/07, 12:41 pm EST


Amy Winehouse’s U.S. and Canadian fall tour has been canceled in the name of her physical well-being. “Plans are being made to reschedule her U.S. tour for early 2008,” reads a statement from the singer’s rep. “Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health.” Winehouse recently went through a highly publicized bout of “exhaustion” (which may very well have been a drug overdose) and subsequent hospitalization in London. The singer is scheduled to tour Europe and the U.K. later in the fall, and those dates are still scheduled … for now. However, it looks like the nixing of her North American trek may mean Winehouse won’t be showing up at September 9th’s MTV Video Music Awards, where she is nominated for three Moonmen. Fellow headline-making British star Lily Allen — who will also be absent from the Las Vegas awards show thanks to visa issues — was recently criticized for toasting the troubled songstress onstage. Allen has defended herself, saying, “Me raising a drink to Amy was just that, showing my support for her. I’ve been around enough substance abuse and alcoholism to know that it’s a serious matter.”

She’s almost a caricature of stereotypical Jewish features. Long hook nose on a long face, fat lips, sunken in eyes and hairy beyond all measure. She’s straight out of a Goebbels cartoon only she’s the genuine article.

Just a “product” anyway. Not a real artist.

Mikie | 8/26/2007, 10:19 pm EST

I guess she should have gone to rehab? yes…yes…yes…

Hey, I’ve an idea! Instead of using crack/coke and opiates, use pot and psilocybe mushrooms and let that inspire you.

Yeah, she’s exhausted alright. You would be too, if you spent the night trying to outrun your violent junkie husband !

she blew it. a spector/ wall of sound star rip off in a protools age got what she worked hard for and now she’s wiping her nose with it. what irony.
but we should now direct our attention to the criminally overlooked and best retro rock act:
DETROIT COBRAS, bitches!
cause face it Amy really doesnt deserve it like Rachel does, so do youself (and Amy) a favor and sink your fangs into the Cobras. it taste sweet!

I wish the best for Amy Winehouse and hope that she overcomes this addiction and continues making great music.

Cool name, Baked Crocodile!!!

I can’t believe I once thought she was attractive. They say Colt created all men equal. Now Photoshop has created all women equal.

Isn’t raising a drink to an alcoholic kinda sending out mixed messages?

Manson | 8/23/2007, 2:01 pm EST

She does have stinky britches. I know from experience. Pew tinky!

J Noles | 8/23/2007, 1:06 pm EST

What is all the hoopla with her? Big fucking deal, she has a soulful voice. She isn’t all that. Both her albums are overrated. She’s shown she’s more a cock-eyed drug addict that doesn’t know her tits from her crotch… and if she’s schmoozing with Kelly Osbourne, that would be a sign that she’s a fuck up and she needs to do us all a favor and kill herself.

Her and Lily Allen can walk off a cliff for all I care.

STINKY STINKY BRITCHES

Alright, Amy! You go girl! Schmoke dat weed and don’t let the corporate execs tell you what to do! Go to rehab, go through the motions to make it look like you’re trying, then when you get out schmoke some more weed. But do it discreetly. Remember, don’t let them tell you to go to rehab, no no no.

Amy Fan | 8/22/2007, 11:38 pm EST

Get well soon Amy. Please. Don’t deprive us of your music, the world needs it!!!

brian gallagher | 8/22/2007, 11:19 pm EST

Maybe it’s time to finally start thinking about that rehab, huh?

B. Breeg | 8/22/2007, 7:41 pm EST

This goofy skank is throwing in the towel already? shit. I figured she’d have at least 1 good year in the lime light before pulling a britney spears.
