Amy Winehouse "Retired" By Record Label
 
Quote:

Amy Winehouse's attempt at a European concert tour ended in Belgrade, Serbia, with a train wreck of a performance Saturday night in which she staggered around the stage and stumbled through several songs.

The audience eventually chased Winehouse off the stage with loud boos several numbers into what was supposed to be the opening show in a 12-date tour.

A representative for Winehouse said her next two concert dates have been canceled.

Winehouse representative Tracey Miller did not directly confirm that the "Rehab" singer, who has a history of battling drugs and alcohol, had fallen off the wagon. Winehouse only recently left a British rehab program that a representative said was intended to prepare her for the European concerts.

"Yes, Amy has cancelled appearances in Istanbul and Athens for the coming week," Miller told CNN Sunday. "Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home."

Video clips of the musical disaster, recorded by concert-goers' cell phone cameras, were quickly posted on YouTube. They showed Winehouse failing in every attempt to sing more than a few slurred lines of her songs. Audience members could be heard filling in the gaps, along with her back-up singers.

"She would like to apologize to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do," Miller said.

When Winehouse entered a rehab program at London's Priory Clinic last month, a representative told CNN that "she wants to be ready for performances in Europe this summer and decided to seek an assessment."
Rehab anyone?

She came back too soon, but maybe it's time for her to call it a day now.

Stu 19-06-2011 11:43 PM

Her management company needs to stop milking her for money. The poor girl needs serious help.

I agree, I know people are sick of seeing her like this and complain a lot but she obviously has a very serious problem with addiction and needs a very long stint in Rehab.

Chuck 20-06-2011 12:37 PM

Poor Amy :(
I think Kerry posted yesterday night a video of her concert in Serbia and it was a complete mess :bored:

Yeah, I agree. You'd have to wonder does anyone actually care about her at all, sending her off on a tour when she's in that kind of state is madness.

No I doint think thats it, she's being forced to do these concerts when she's clearly in no fit state to, she needs to be sectioned and helped.

Okay, she tried to come back too soon.

I think as a poster said above, she needs serious help, not lip service from those around her.

So sad to see someone in that state and so publicly poor girl

I guess wanting help is the first step, otherwise she'll just end up back there again

Absolutely ..... :)

My ex-wife went down the same route as Amy and many others - joined AA, had NHS detox and rehab, but after several emergency hospital admissions agreed to go Clouds House - she was there 6 months, came out clean and dry, but within 2 years was dead from too many relapses and eventual multiple organ failure - at the age of 40 ..... :shocked:

That's really sad, so sorry but unfortunately people can't be forced to be helped. If Daniella Westbrook's nose dropping off wasn't a clue to her that she needed to rethink her lifestyle. Anyway she did eventually, thank god, when she was ready to make that choice herself

After losing her "career" and her money, Kerry Katona was given a new "lease of life" this year - what has she done with it ?

Wasted it by preferring to drink herself to vomiting point ..... :rolleyes:

Like I said, some addicts ..... :(

Silly cow ruining her life.

That's so sad, sorry to hear that. Really a very sad end.

Mrluvaluva 21-06-2011 12:28 AM

I saw some clips today from her concert on Saturday. She ain't ever gonna change. Surprised she hasn't self destructed by now.

Iceman 21-06-2011 06:10 PM

Amy Winehouse has cancelled her entire European tour in the wake of her much-maligned performance in Belgrade on Saturday.

It was confirmed on Sunday that Winehouse had canceled performances in Istanbul and Athens this week after being booed at the Belgrade concert for slurring her words and appearing incoherent throughout the performance.

The 'Rehab' singer has now officially canceled all 12 dates of her upcoming tour, which would have seen Winehouse perform in Austria, Italy, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Romania and Hungary throughout the summer.

"Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances," the singer's spokesman confirmed. "Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen."

Following a short stint in the London Priory clinic at the end of May to treat her addiction to alcohol, Winehouse is now said to be continuing her treatment as an outpatient.

Winehouse has yet to release any new material since her 2006 Grammy Award-winning album Back to Black.

Niall 21-06-2011 06:14 PM

Idec about this stupid alchy anymore. :bored: She pisses me off doing this bull**** all the time. Why can't she go away, actually get better then return, record an album and actually tour when she's physically capable? Its like she wants all these headlines. -_-

Iceman 21-06-2011 06:19 PM

It didnt look to me like she wanted to be there so I'd hardly say she wants all this?

Absolutely true. And my sympathies Omah, I know only too well the road you've travelled.

If addicts do not want help, no matter what 'they need' (help I mean) - they need to recognise they need help, and want the help, and want to work at it.

Some simply are too far gone to realise the difference and have neither the want or care.

I hate to say it, but I truly believe this is one young woman who simply will never recognise when she has hit rock bottom. I seriously doubt she will ever fully recover.

I don't think she will either Pyramid.

Same path as others who have come, gone and on their way out: George Best, Gazza to name two. Talented but with their own demons. I see this being a recurring theme and most likely, it won't be the booze it will kill her, it'll be an overdose / suicide or massive organ failure. Sad, but a real possibility.

don't be so ignorant. She doesnt even have a clue what she wants right now. Well, besides her next fix.

Kerry 21-06-2011 08:09 PM

The videos are vanishing off YouTube like hotcakes (no surprise) but yes, I did post one the other night

I've found this but it won't stream for me. Think my 'nets on a slowgo


cub 21-06-2011 08:35 PM

She clearly has the hots for one of the backing singers.

I think the record company and her management have exploited the 'tortured Amy' image to a large extent ever since Rehab, in an effort to iconise her to all the other legendary torchered singers from the old days.

But all this on-the-wagon/off-the-wagon has just made her look boring - plus there's no new product. I'm tired of Back to Black and Valerie now. Where's the new album?

The worst thing to happen to Amy Winehouse career was boredom. And it's now that's happened, so buh-bye.

Plus: We have Adele now.

Niall 21-06-2011 08:41 PM

Jesus I thought she'd be better than the mess she is in that video up there. :bored:

Believe it or not, I think that was one of her better performances of the night...... The one I saw she was sitting on the speakers and alsorts. How she stayed upright I'll never know......

Stu 21-06-2011 08:57 PM

I have good faith that she will recover eventually. Most people do. I know it's popular to naysay and declare that those in the public eye on this path are going to stay on the path because it sounds all authorative and obvious but it's been demonstrably proven that the majority of people change.

Music has far more reformed dinosaurs than dead heroes.

Iceman 21-06-2011 11:45 PM

AMY WINEHOUSE has been retired by her bosses and won't be appearing on stage again "for years".

Her manager has finally laid down the law after she sneaked a stash of booze backstage before embarrassing herself in Belgrade, Serbia, at the weekend.

RAY COSBERT has always refused to tell her how to live her life - arguing it's not his place to do so.

But for the sake of her health he's stepped in and has retired her from performing "indefinitely". A source close to the singer said: "It has been hard for Ray to watch her get into trouble over the years.

"There's only so much he can do - but enough's enough.

"She's going away and this time it could be for years."

All the remaining 11 European tour dates have been cancelled and Amy is facing another long period in rehab.

Sadly it's not the first time we've been here - humiliation has become more common than chart success for Amy.

But why does it keep happening? Why can't her family sort things out?

Ask any parent who has been through the horror of having a son or daughter with addiction issues - they will tell you how hard it is to intervene.

But it's time for extreme measures.

Ray has dedicated more than a decade of his life to making the hugely talented singer he calls "my girl" a success.

But he's not her dad or a sibling and how do you tell a millionaire how to live her personal life?

This has to be the final humiliation - she needs an extended break, away from London with full-time care.

It may take years - but she can afford it.

What she can't afford is for the pantomime to continue.

If it does, we all know it won't end happily ever after.
