Amy Winehouse is “sorry for fans” after canceling her current tour, according to her media-loving father, Mitch Winehouse. Mitch also told the BBC that ending the tour so Amy could take a full rest “is in her best interests.” The comments come two days after a Winehouse press release stated, “Her family has requested that the media respect Amy’s privacy at this time. There will be no further comment.” Maybe Mitch didn’t get the memo. Winehouse’s dad also said that “all options” are being considered for the singer, including a much-needed stay in a rehabilitation center. Amy blames the nixed tour on the emotional and physical fatigue she’s suffering as she remains separated from her husband/enabler Blake Fielder-Civil.
Fielder-Civil currently stews away in a London jail cell until January 18th, as he’s accused of beating up a pub owner, then trying to “pervert justice” by bribing his victim (sadly, that charge is unrelated to those lovable Dateline molester-catchers, Perverted Justice). To kill time as he awaits the day he and his wife are reunited and can start beating the hell out of each other again, Fielder-Civil has started writing a diary (yes, a diary, not a blog, for you youngsters), that he passes along to Amy so that she “feel as if they’re still sharing life and he’s with her every day,” according to Fielder-Civil’s mother, Georgette. “Blake thinks that if Amy has a little thing to do for him each day that’ll propel her on, give her something to work towards and get her out of bed in the morning,” Georgette explained. Diaries are okay, but once Fielder-Civil starts using that pen to start writing songs like “Popazoa,” we’re gonna have issues.
