Label threatens to shelve Winehouse album

According to The Sun, Universal Music has threatened to shelve Amy Winehouse's third album unless she stops using drugs, though a spokesman says she is working on songs with Mark Ronson.

I'm not sure I believe this, but, according to The Sun, Universal Music have threatened to shelve Amy Winehouse's third album if she doesn't kick the drugs. It seems her drugginess is getting in the way of the recording process.

The story goes that Winehouse has been issued an ultimatum by her record label after she allegedly cancelled a recording session in the Bahamas - a story also originally reported by The Sun. One of those pesky sources told the tabloid: "Amy has been reminded of her responsibilities. Unless she is clean she will not be allowed to release another album. They would never release her from her deal, they would just not put an album out. She has been warned about her behaviour and needs to keep the standards up".

Elsewhere in Winehouse news, a spokesman for the singer has denied reports that she is working on a song for the new Bond film. He said: "Amy has been in the studio working on songs for her new album with Mark Ronson. Recording for anything else is pure speculation".
