Remember those rumors of Amy Winehouse being clean and sober after her latest rehab stint? Well it seems as though they were truly only rumors.
Amy kicked off her 12 night European tour in Belgrade,Serbia and looked lost and confused the whole night as she struggled to even get the words out, often just standing onstage in a daze.
In front of 20,000 fans, the ‘Rehab’ hitmaker was unable to stand properly and repeatedly left the stage between numbers, leaving her band to pick up the pieces. The footage shows Winehouse being propped up by her guitarist and throwing her shoe at a backing singer. She also attempts a half-spoken version of Just Friends, and is unable to sing the words clearly.
The Sun reported that the Rehab star had been under strict instructions not to drink, following her recently completed stint in The Priory addiction clinic, and her management have instructed hotel staff to remove all alcohol from rooms booked by Amy and her entourage. Hotel staff are also under strict orders not to deliver any room service drinks for the 12 date tour. It is also claimed that doctors at the Priory gave Winehouse an ultimatum at the end of May – stop boozing or die.
Tickets were in the $50 range, which may not seem fairly cheap for many but Serbia has some of the lowest wages in the world and fans were fuming at the performance,, or lack of i should say.
Bojan Petrovic, a 35-year old teacher from Belgrade, told AFP: “I paid my weekly salary, 38 euros ($54) for this concert and I knew of her troubles, but the organizers should have cancelled it to let us, her fans, remember the real Amy.” After the disastrous opening night, it remains to be seen if Winehouse will manage to honor the rest of her dates.
Damn shame, maybe this will open her eyes as to what she really looks like and what such a promising career has become. Check out the ‘performance’ below!!
