However, as the broadcaster BBC reported, Winehouse could hardly stand on her feet during her appearance at the jazz festival and kept forgetting her text. She broke off a song with the words “Sorry, I’m bored”.
“It’s embarrassing,” said a visitor to the broadcaster. “She’s obviously not fit for the stage.” Another listener said the performance “hurt”. Winehouse’s spokesman said Amy was “very disappointed.” «St. Lucia is wonderful to her (…). But circumstances that could not be influenced wanted the show not to go as planned. »
Winehouse kept making headlines with drug and alcohol captains. Fans had often complained of embarrassing appearances. Winehouse has been in St. Lucia for weeks and wants to record a new album there. Since her hit album “Back To Black” (2006), she has not released a new record.
