Winehouse's Coachella gig canned

Amy Winehouse will not perform at Coachella as planned, her spokesman Chris Goodman says, citing legal issues linked to an assault charge and her US visa.

The singer was charged with assault last week, which has affected her application for a US visa to attend the event, which takes place next month.

You may remember Winehouse was previously declined a US visa to attend last year's Grammys, and though she was eventually granted one, it was not in time for her to make the show.

Elsewhere in Amy news, it has been confirmed that she will perform in May as part of the celebrations for Island Records' fiftieth anniversary, taking place at Shepherd's Bush Empire (there's a website for that anniversary by the way - www.island50.com).
