So when is Amy Winehouse gonna sit down to re-evaluate her career as a musician? Because lately, she’s been having more problems on stage, than off stage! And that says a lot, considering all of the things that have been going down in her life. One of the most recent though is the arrest of her husband, which is apparently taking a total on the troubled singer.
For the first time since her husband’s arrest, Amy Winehouse performed Wednesday night in the U.K. in a controversial comeback that resulted in her storming off stage after being booed by the audience, the BBC reports. Sporting a shiny silver top and short black skirt – paired with her trademark beehive – the 24-year-old slurred her words and was a little unsteady on her feet during the performance at the Birmingham Indoor Arena, but she did make it through her hits “Back to Black,” “Tears Dry on Their Own” and “Rehab.” The troubled chanteuse dedicated her song “Wake Up Alone” to Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently in a London prison awaiting trial on charges of witness tampering. “This is for my husband,” Winehouse said from the stage.
As disgruntled fans headed for the exits, Winehouse reportedly announced: “To them people booing, wait ’til my husband gets out of incarceration. And I mean that.” Her closing number, a cover of The Zutons’ “Valerie,” descended into chaos when she stopped singing, dropped the microphone and walked off stage. “When she did sing she sounded phenomenal,” one fan, Zoe Giorgio, told the BBC, “but she was not ready to be up on that stage. She was so weak, so vulnerable.” The gig marked the first night of the headliner’s 17-date U.K. tour. In August, Winehouse canceled her summer shows amid reports of drug and alcohol abuse.

Due to the untimely death of his mother, Kanye West, who was set to perform at tonight’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, has pulled out of the show, Entertainment Tonight reports. A rep for West could not immediately be reached for comment. Donda West died Saturday at a Los Angeles hospital, a day after undergoing plastic surgery by Dr. Jan Adams. The coroner says an official cause of death won’t be known for up to 8 weeks pending toxicology tests, but for now described it as “complications of surgery.”
Dr. Adams confirmed that he performed a tummy tuck and breast reduction on Donda West. He told TMZ.com her death was NOT caused by the surgery. Also, the Discovery Health Network will no longer broadcast episodes of Plastic Surgery: Before and After, which is hosted by Adams. The surgeon had been hosting the series for five years until its final episode, which aired last June. Repeats of the show continued to run, but the network has decided to remove four episodes scheduled for this week. No decision has been made on whether Discovery Health will resume rerunning the show.
“We’re just trying to be as sensitive as possible to everyone involved,” network spokesman Chris Finnegan told the AP.
