Unfortunately, our fears came true. Amy Winehouse canceled her appearance in EJEKT Festival, which will be held on 22th of June. We understand the issue of her health, which in each case is important. However, it is totally an unprofessional behavior! Since management saw that she was not in good condition and have had to go to a clinic a few days ago, they should cancel the tour then.
What should the organizers of EJEKT Festival and the concert in Istanbul will do now? How will they fill the gap?
Amy Winehouse started her tour last night in Belgrade and booed by 20,000 music fans who were there. Amy appeared to be drunk, as you can see in the following videos:
Of course, I prefer not to see her in this situation!
Moby played before her and you can see below what he wrote on his Twitter:
