Amy Winehouse really is starting to rival Babyshambles when it comes to her score of cancelled gigs, though given recent events this cancellation shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Winehouse's people have confirmed her upcoming US tour is on hold, the singer still being in recovery following that whole stomach pump episode.
Her publicist, Tracy Miller, told reporters: "Due to the rigours involved in touring, Amy Winehouse has been advised to postpone her upcoming September US and Canadian tour dates. Amy's European and UK tour dates in October and November remain in place. Plans are being made to reschedule her US tour for early 2008. Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health".
Meanwhile, Groove Armada member Tom Findlay measures-up as the latest in a long-line of musicians commenting on Winehouse's situation, though he is of a slightly different opinion to the rest, claiming that he believes that her behaviour is what makes her such an intriguing prospect to fans: "She is a genuine rock star and you know rock stars - they're not perfect people. That's what makes them. She's in that weird position where we don't want her to be perfect because if she wasn't the woman we know she wouldn't be as exciting". He's right you know.
