Amy Winehouse’s lackluster comeback gig was mercifully nixed by a disgruntled fan.
That being mother nature.
Heavy rain forced the troubled British singer to cut short a performance at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival on Friday, her first live performance in 2009.
The singer and her band “tried to soldier on” despite the storm causing sound and lighting problems, but it was simply not to be on this day.
Hopefully her new boy toys were there to comfort her.
“Amy is very disappointedm as St. Lucia has been wonderful to her and its people have welcomed her with open arms, but circumstances beyond anyone’s control meant this special show did not go as planned,” said her spokesman, Chris Goodman.
Fans weren’t exactly in tears over the abrupt cancellation.
“What a wasted talent,” a concertgoer said, adding that she was booed at one point. “She is on a one-way road to destruction; it’s such a shame.”
During the hour-long set, Amy Winehouse forgot lyrics, appeared distracted and inadvertently flashed her underwear before walking off the stage.
At one point, the 25-year-old even said, “Sorry, I’m bored.”
“It was disappointing,” said another fan interviewed by the BBC. “It is very sad to see, but she is obviously not fit to be on stage.”
Last week, Winehouse was hospitalized in St. Lucia for the 245th time, collapsing due to “dehydration” and “exhaustion,” whatever those are.
