Amy Winehouse cancels two tour dates after disastrous performance in Belgrade

Filed under: Music, News and tagged:

Amy Winehouse has canceled two tour dates in the wake of an ill-fated concert in Belgrade, according to CNN. During the performance, the singer staggered through several of her songs until loud boos from the audience finally forced her from the stage. (Video taken at the performance shows a disoriented Winehouse mumbling occasional lyrics and walking aimlessly around the stage.) Following the performance, the singer canceled planned concerts in Istanbul and Athens. Winehouse recently left a British rehab facility; this twelve-city tour, her first in years, was intended as a comeback for the troubled singer.

    Wow. And you thought Lindsay Lohan was a train wreck.

    • SaraS

      These videos are disastrous. Who let her go onstage like that!? Who put that wig and makeup on and thought she was okay to stumble through a set of songs!?!?

      • sue

        Lydia, YOU Are a pathetic. To advertise for a love on every flipping post is just insane. You have got to be so desperate to ask for love on these kinds of stories. You are EVERYWHERE. Perhaps it is in your ways of looking is why you can’t find a love. I read your desperate searches on just about every CNN story.

      • Bringer of Plague

        It’s obvious to anyone who isn’t a retard that “Lydia” is a spammer. Just ignore it.

      • etm

        Wait…Lydia isn’t a beautiful, mature doctor?!

      • Bob

        Thank you, Groucho:

        Oooooooh

        Lydia oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia,
        Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.

        She has eyes that folks adore so,
        And a torso even more so.

        Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopidia,
        Oh Lydia the Queen of Tattoo.

        On her back is the Battle of Waterloo.
        Beside it the wreck of the Hesperus, too.

        And proudly above waves the Red, White, and Blue,

        You can learn a lot from Lydia.

        La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

        When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world,
        If you step up and tell her where.

        For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paris,
        Or Washington crossing the Delaware.

        La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

      I hope the aud. was smart enough to demand their money back. And whoever booked her should be put out of business.

      • chris

        Out of the 50 Euros ticket people paid to see Moby and Winehouse, only 10 Euros was refunded by the company after Winehouse cancelled… So, 40 Euros to see Moby and only 10 to see Winehouse?….

  • D

    So sad.

    • Ben

      It truly IS sad because she is talented. But she and her handlers keep making the mistake of thinking that one or two weeks in treatment is going to fix things. She needs to go to rehab for a long, sustained period before she can go back to work. Is she doesn’t get the help she needs – and the time she needs – she is never going to get better and will end up dead.

    • tom

      It’s very sad. I think Amy has a great voice, and great vocal ability. Her people just let her drop so far now, that intervention is probably coming her way soon. It’s probably for the best too.

      • SLB

        Seriously? Even when she’s sober, she sounds like crap.

  • Jesse

    At this point, why does anyone pay money to see her perform? It doesn’t make any sense.

    • SallyinChicago

      Let’s hope the audience was smart enough to demand their money back.

      • Tom

        She needs to fix the skin infection on her face.

  • Jujubee

    Wow is right. Watched the video and it’s simply disturbing. I’ve never personally been a fan but I know deep down in there she has talent and it’s just a shame she can’t get her sh*t together. Where are her friends & family? She so obviously still needs help. Sad.

    • SallyinChicago

      She’s overrated. If you want a Brit singer, look to Joss Stone or Adele. Amy is low-level talent.

      • X

        Adele? You mean the one who tries to sound like…Amy Winehouse?

  • Eric

    The way she’s going she’ll probably be dead in 5 years.

    • Kris

      I can’t believe she’s not dead already.

  • stuart

    It’s like with her last album – she’s a pone tony, but it doesn’t stop the bar. But those lips! Makes me pitch a tent every time.

  • josh

    I know that’s right!You don’t hear anything about this broad for a long time,and the first news to come down the pipelines is this.What a shame.

    • repeater

      Wow, same thing Lydia said before she is advertising for a love on the net!!

      • Silentboy741

        Yeah, I know — Josh — Lydia — pick a name so I know which fake dating profile to put up!!

  • Joey

    Sad to see talent wasted.

    • tom

      While most of the people who lost the grammy that night are working hard in the studio coming up with their next album, Amy is back in the news again, either falling off the stage, or falling out of her outfit.. or something.. She needs a new manager, and some intervention.

      • SaraS

        She doesn’t need an intervention – she just got back from rehab. She needs in-house rehab for like 3 months and to stay OFF the stage and out of the spotlight.
        This video reminds me of Country Strong and how fast that character was pushed back out.

  • JPX

    What a waste. With all her advantages she still can’t pull herself together. She will never be popular again. At this point she is known more for her drug addiction than her music – how long ago was her hit song, 5 years?

  • MWeyer

    I feel sorry for the band who had to go on playing when they saw how bad she was.

    • JackieB

      I almost felt like they were trying not to laugh. Like, yeah right she’s going to go through this show. That one guy had to actually push her toward the microphone so she knew where it was. She was SO F*cked up.

    • Jane

      Right before she adjusts her wig, she talks to the guitarist and his head snaps up, like he heard something that isn’t good. Wonder what she said. We’re watching somebody getting ready to die.

  • jason

    when will she just stop and go away

  • JC

    Her live shows were always terrible, even in her prime when she wasn’t a complete trainwreck (which wasn’t often).

  • MCS

    Devastating to see such talent wasted. She has an awesome voice, and that one album was actually really good, but she is just a wreck. Sad for the band too, they probably get paid little and have to do all the heavy lifting for her.

    • Ben

      She actually has two albums and they are both excellent.

  • Classy!

    Ugh! I thought she was getting better! I pray for her. She’s such an amazing talent, such a soulful singer, such memorable music. Come on Amy man. I have been dying for new music from you.

    • SLB

      You people must be high. Her music is horrible. Never understood why she ever became famous.

      • Gina

        Troll.

  • Stephen

    I will admit I thought she was never that talented. Not Grammy worthy at all.

    But still it is sad to see her ruin her life like this. I hope she can get herself together before it’s too late.
