Winehouse Hospitalized

• 21st May 2009

According to tabloid reports, Amy Winehouse's upcoming London comeback gig may have to be cancelled after the singer became unwell at her St Lucia holiday home and had to be taken to hospital. It's not clear what the problem was, but she was released the same night. She was also briefly taken to hospital on the Caribbean island last month, and that time a rep said that it had been because of dehydration.

It's been suggested that she's not ready for a comeback anyway, given her recent, botched attempt to headline at the St Lucia Jazz festival; it was, as you may remember, troublesome weather conditions that brought that gig to an untimely close, but spectators claimed that the short performance she did give was seriously below par. A source told The Sun, “Amy's gig might as well be cancelled now. She's not going to make it. It's not worth her while – even if she does make it, it will be a shambles. She is not ready for it and she proved it at the festival”.
