Amy Winehouse Cancels U.K. Tour  
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Singer Amy Winehouse has cancelled her U.K. tour, and all scheduled promotional appearances for this year.  Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, is in jail awaiting trial on charges of assault and perverting the course of justice.  He will remain in jail over the Christmas and New Year's holiday, until his hearing on January 18th involving his alleged witness tampering and assault.

Blake, 25, is accused of inflicting grievous bodily harm on a pub landlord in an incident in June of last year.

"I can't give it my all on stage without my Blake," Winehouse said in a statement through her record label today.  "I'm so sorry but I don't want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love singing.  My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same."

A spokesman for her record label said, "Amy Winehouse has cancelled all remaining live and promotional appearances for the remainder of the year on the instruction of her doctor.  The rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks have taken their toll.  In the interests of her health and well-being, Amy has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues."
