We don't normally run stories about the latest episode in Pete Doherty or Amy Winehouse's respective drug-meltdowns. After all, every other website, newspaper, radio station and cab driver report them ad naseum, so it makes little sense for us to double-up and bore off about them. But this time, it's an exception.
Amy Winehouse amazed the crowds in the Birmingham leg of her tour last night .... and not in a good way.
Winehouse turned up 45 minutes late on stage, by which time both Amy and the crowd had managed drink themselves in a stupor. Following the crowd booing and slagging her off for being a bit sh!t (well, she was mumbling half of the time), Winehouse broke down in tears on a couple of tracks and was left sobbing on stage. She would then try and hold it together and carry on the show, sometimes bursting into amazing on-form vocals, before blasting swear-fileld rants at the punters.
The whole situation got a little awkward and half of the crowd walked out, muttering about cancelled tours. This was the first show Winehouse has played since her husband was arrested on a charge of Attempting To Pervert The Course Of Justice.
