Singer Amy Winehouse has called off all gigs and other public appearances for the remainder of 2007, after her doctor advised her to take complete rest.
The performer was reportedly treated in rehab this year and fans booed her during a shambolic set in Birmingham.

She had been due to play at the BIC in Bournemouth later and the Cardiff International Arena on Wednesday.

Performances were also planned during December in Dublin, Belfast, Manchester and London.

A statement issued by concert promoter Live Nation blamed "the rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks" for the decision.

Winehouse was quoted as saying: "I can't give it my all on stage without my Blake. 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."

This was a reference to Blake Fielder-Civil, who has been remanded in custody until 18 January, accused of assaulting a pub landlord last June.

He also faces a charge of perverting the course of justice.

Thanks for posting Jyane. Wow. Now she needs to take care and not keep wandering around with blanc eyes and passing in and out.

Sorry illegal, that your gig got cancelled. Everyoen who got to see her was really lucky.

I hope Amy will now be able to focus on her health. I feel sad for her with everything she's been through lately.

[curehead]

Well I hope she gets better but I'm more pissed of at the fact that she could've done this a lot earlier.

[Moody's Mood]

I don't think that's entirely up to her tbh..
