'Sick' Winehouse pulls out of performance

Singer Amy Winehouse was forced to scrap a recent concert after reportedly falling ill.

The troubled 24-year-old was due to play a 30-minute showcase for industry executives at a Universal Music event earlier this week - but she failed to appear at the Grove Hotel gig in Hertfordshire, England, claiming to be unwell.

Last month, Winehouse made her first public appearance since checking into rehab in January with a satellite performance for the Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, where she picked up five awards.
