Winehouse backs backing band

Amy Winehouse has denied reports she screamed at her horn section and threatened to sack them after a poorly received Rock In Rio performance in Portugal.

More Amy, and Ms Winehouse has hit out at reports that she gave her backing band a dressing down, even threatening to sack her brass section, after a poorly received show at the Rock In Rio event in Portugal at the weekend.

In a statement, the singer said: "I was really upset that anyone would suggest that I would act that way to my band. My band are my family and I did not 'scream' at my horn players and would never be 'sick of the sight of them'. We have been through a lot together and I would never lose my temper in that way with them. I suffered from a sore throat all week and was given the option to cancel. But I was determined to show my fans that I was back and working. I'm looking forward to my remaining dates throughout the summer".
