Amy Winehouse 2011

Aside from the odd performance in drinking holes around Soho and Camden, Amy Winehouse hasn’t taken to the stage since 2008, but the troubled singer has just announced plans to tour next year – Yey!

Amy is scheduled to play at the Rio De Janeiro HSBC Arena in Brazil on 11th January and she’ll also perform three Summer Soul Festival dates on the 8th, 13th and 15th January.

But the big burning question is will she be playing all the same old hits? We know Janelle Monae will be supporting her on all four dates and rapper Mayer Hawthorne will play the festival shows, but what will she be playing? New material? Hmmm, we wont hold our breath.

Amy Winehouse 2011Winehouse, who publicly struggled with drugs and alcohol, was almost an hour late, before stumbling to the scene and appear unable to remember the words of his songs. She dropped the microphone and sometimes disappeared with his band playing instead.

The crowd at the fortress of Belgrade Winehouse could hardly tell which song was the song and responded angrily. Many have left in disappointment.

“It was horrible,” said Ivana Bilic, a fan. “She should have canceled the whole, rather than appear like that at all.”

The daily Blic posted a clip of the concert on its website, commenting, “Look, if you dare.”

Tickets cost about euro40 ($ 57) – very expensive in the country where average wages are around euro300 ($ 428) per month.
