Amy Winehouse performs at the Rock in Rio festival
2008-07-05 16:30:41 (GMT) (Caymanmama.com - Entertainment News)Argamda Del Rey, Spain (CaymanMama.com) — Amy Winehouse, Great Britain’s troubled soul diva, sipped red wine at the Rock in Rio music festival held on Friday in the south east of Madrid. It seemed that she was not steady on her feet as she performed in front of the large audience at the festival. As her fans started cheering, she threw a pair of stiletto heels and wore white moccasins after which she took an electric guitar and performed some of her best songs on the stage including the ‘Rehab’. She gave a fantastic vocal performance on the stage accompanied by two backing vocalists and her octet.
There was no hint of the naughty behavior which had created a controversy when the singer scuffled with one of her fans at the Glastonbury Festival last week in Britain and or when she showed up an hour late looking worn out in Portugal in May.
The singer has won five Grammy awards including those for best song, best new artist and best record in February 2008. In spite of her great talent and fame, her success has always been shadowed by her public struggle with alcohol and drugs and her confused private life. In June 2008, her father declared that she had developed emphysema due to excessive cigarette smoking and cocaine cracking, but later her spokeswoman announced that she only has symptoms of pre-emphysema.
Once she finished her performance at the Rock in Rio festival, she left the venue on a helicopter without staying for an encore. Winehouse’s manager, Michael Jobson, told the RTVE, a national broadcaster, that Amy had been looking forward to performing in Madrid after making appearances in Hyde Park and Portugal.
After Winehouse, Jamiroquai performed on the stage with Shakira was on the top of the bill. Bob Dylan, the Police, Lenny Kravitz, Franz Ferdinand and Alejandro Sanz were all scheduled to perform during the weekend. The organizers said that around 350000 audiences were expected to come to the concert site by the festival’s end.
