Concern over Winehouse's performance

Amy Winehouse's return at the Eden Sessions drew concern after she reportedly walked off mid-set, forgot lyrics and hit herself, while William Hill make her favourite for the Mercury Prize.

Concern has been voiced over Amy Winehouse's recent return to live performance at her show at the Eden Project's Eden Sessions. The singer, who, as previously reported, cancelled a number of shows due to exhaustion - including appearances at T In The Park, Oxygen and Liverpool's Summer Pops series - apparently behaved erratically at the concert in Cornwall, walking off stage mid set before returning looking troubled. It's also said that she forgot lyrics, and repeatedly slapped her own face and hit herself on the head with her microphone. A spokesman said that Winehouse was simply angry with herself at a performance which was rusty following her recent spate of inactivity, and that accounted for her behaviour.

Elsewhere in Winehouse news, William Hill are now calling her the clear favourite to win this year's Mercury Prize. Odds on the singer's success are 5/2 with nearest rivals Arctic Monkeys having odds of 5/1.
