Amy Winehouse cancels all shows for remaining '07 dates
28/11/2007 10:37

Amy Winehouse, 24-year-old British retro soul singer, has canceled all concerts and public appearances for the rest of the year on doctor's orders, media reports said today, adding her family asked for respect for "Amy's privacy at this time."

In the interests of her health and well-being, Winehouse has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues, the reports added.

Winehouse's 25-year-old husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was ordered held in custody in London earlier this month on charges stemming from a case in which he is accused of assaulting a barman in June.

Winehouse said she "can't give her all onstage without her husband who is everything to her."

She has been scheduled to perform in Britain and Ireland, but is so sorry about her decision. Refunds will be given at outlets where the tickets were purchased. There are "no plans at the moment" to reschedule the dates, the reports added.

Winehouse has made headlines in recent months with her sub-par performances, health fears and reports of alleged drug use. In August, she spent time in rehab and canceled a series of dates in Britain, the United States and Canada.
