British singer Amy Winehouse had a performance on Saturday,
in front of 80,000 music festival fans at the Glastonbury Festival in
Somerset, England,
which included a bit of violence on her part.
At the end of her show, which lasted one hour, she climbed down from the stage
and threw a punch on one of the festivalgoers.
It is not clear yet what determined Winehouse to act that
way but witnesses said a fan tried to grab her.
Despite the incident, the singer was in fine voice, singing
songs from her Grammy-winning album “Back to Black”. Among the pieces of
music she sang, there was “You Know I’m No Good” and “Wake Up Alone”.
Before performing the aforementioned one, she told the
gathering, “I wrote this one for Blake (her husband who at present is in
prison). I thought I’d never see him again.”
The performance took place shortly after she was
hospitalized.
She is said to have emphysema as a result of her smoking
cigarettes and crack cocaine, even though her spokesperson stated that the
singer only has pre-emphysema symptoms.
After she stopped singing, she got rid of the clothes
she was wearing during the performance and changed into ones that were more casual.
Then she watched a headlining set by Jay-Z with his wife, Beyonce Knowles.
In the weekend, Amy had a performance lasting 2 hours with
the occasion of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday tribute in London’s
Hyde Park.
