Winehouse cancels gig and Simpsons appearance

Amy Winehouse cancelled her Oya festival set in Oslo after being admitted to hospital with severe exhaustion, while The Simpsons producers have invited her to appear on the show.

Another day, another Winehouse cancellation. Yep, Amy Winehouse has cancelled yet another gig, inevitably fuelling further speculation that that girl needs to get herself a bit of rehab - yes, yes, yes.

The singer was due to perform at the Oya music festival in Oslo yesterday, but she couldn't go after being admitted to University College London Hospital. A statement from her label confirmed: "Amy Winehouse was admitted to UCLH this morning suffering from severe exhaustion. Amy was discharged from hospital this afternoon and has been advised to take complete rest".

As previously reported, Winehouse has cancelled several gigs this summer - including sets at T On The Fringe and Liverpool's Summer Pops - generally citing "exhaustion" as her excuse. She recently clarified those cancellations by telling reporters: "I know it's last-minute and a bit irresponsible. But I'm a perfectionist and would rather reschedule a show than do it half-heartedly".

One 'gig' it's unlikely she'll be canceling, no matter how tired she is, is the offer from The Simpsons producers asking her to appear in the next series of show, possibly as a character that teaches Lisa to sing the blues. A source from the show explained: "Amy is huge in America right now. She was asked if she would consider making an appearance on the show and she agreed. Apparently she is a big fan".
