'Too drunk' Amy Winehouse booed in Belgrade - FRANCE 24
Do you like this story?
BELGRADE — British singer Amy Winehouse, who is struggling to overcome drug addiction, was booed at an open-air concert as she appeared to be too drunk to sing at the performance that officially kicked off a two-week European tour.
Some 20,000 people gathered for the highly-promoted concert at Belgrade's sixth-century Kalemegdan fortress late Saturday, but many soon left the concert, disappointed with the songstress's lacklustre act.
During the concert which lasted about 90 minutes Winehouse could only mumble some of the lyrics, failing to follow her band.
"I paid my weekly salary, 38 euros ($54) for this concert and I knew of her troubles, but the organisers should have cancelled it to let us, her fans, remember the real Amy", said Bojan Petrovic, a 35-year old teacher from the southern Serbian town Nis.
Winehouse reportedly ended an alcohol rehabilitation programme in London two weeks ago and local media reported that alcohol had been banned for the tour.

Perhaps instead of worrying about the money you paid for this concert you and the other fans could have shown more compassion and care for an individual who was obviously struggling. People are so fickle.

Thank you anonymous! I absolutely agree. It's a "Kick 'em while they're down" mentality, that drives people to not make an effort to get better.

Just wondering......

addiction goes a lot deeper than 2weeks in rehab. Back to demands of makeup, wigs, bad boyfriends and husbands and music producers. A sweet short gift from God. Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline, beauties that live forever.

Well, I personally think it is just so sad. Such a GREAT talent. And what really gets me is the lack of care, from the fans that bought the tickets. This woman is DEAD!!! And all you can think of is your dollars? This is just so sad...what you have become! Anonymous, seriously needs to get a grip!.."She was a stupid
drugged up crazy bitch!" you really need to get some values and compassion. OR take a good look in the mirrorat yourself.

Why couldnt anyone in the band just show some care... Let it stop at the very moment.. She struggled so hard and she couldnt perform... no one just care about her..they should've asked Winehouse to stop n go back stage!

The fans arent the problem here.. they have paid hard earned money for somebody to be off their face on drink and drugs staggering about.
The problem is the production company allowing the acts of somebody who needs help not putting on center stage just so they can be quids in!

so you idiots are rude.she isnt disgusting and yeah it is sad.she knew she had a problem.the point is admitting it.you guys dont get it.she's dead.at peace.never to hear or read the things you asshole say about her.
i can say im young and have gone through a drug addiction as well.my life almost ended 2 weeks ago and i was luck.im also a musician.im still in highschool.you dont get the pain she went through.but im glad that she is at piece.and it isnt funny.obviously if any of you were in her place with whatever problems she had to deal with you wouldnt want someone writing nonsense about how funny it is to watch someone stumble around drunk or high and cant talk.9 times out of 10 you tried something and you were laughed at.
i sure as hell was and im getting better.so stop writing hurtful shit about her or anyone else.it just make YOU look like and insignificant child that is bored with life itself.
Good day.
