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.
