Amy Winehouse Hospitalized, Nixes Homecoming Show


Los Angeles (E! Online) – Just when they thought she was in, they pulled her back out.
In what is likely a surprise to no one, Amy Winehouse has canceled plans to perform in London next week in what would have been her first U.K. appearance of the year.
The concert, scheduled to take place May 31, was one of many gigs planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her label, Island Records. It was due to be the final show of the weeklong celebration.
"Amy Winehouse's management has regretfully announced that Amy and her band will no longer be performing at the Shepherd's Bush Empire," her rep said in a statement.
"Amy would like to apologize to her fans who bought tickets for the shows."
No reason was given for the cancellation, though yesterday Britain's Press Association reported that Winehouse was taken to the hospital with chest pains.
While her hospitalization came in the wake of a fainting spell, the singer's management claimed she was simply dehydrated and released shortly thereafter.
It's the second time this month the singer's rep has blamed a fainting spell for a doctor's visit. It's also the second time this month that the Grammy winner has backed out of a performance.
