Winehouse absent from court as husband jailed

Singer Amy Winehouse was absent from court yesterday when her husband was jailed for trying to cover up an attack on a publican.

Blake Fielder-Civil, 26, joined in a “vicious and one-sided” assault on James King while high on cocaine and alcohol, the court heard.

The victim suffered a broken cheekbone and was so badly beaten that he needed metal plates fitted to his face.
