Amy Winehouse will not be performing at this year’s Grammys because her request for a visa has been turned down by the United States.
Think this has anything to do with her repeated drug problems? That video of her apparently smoking crack could not have helped matters.
The Outside Organization, which reps Amy, issued this statement:
“Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on recovery.”
Amy Winehouse shot to fame with the autobiographical single “Rehab.”
The 24-year-old and her acclaimed Back to Black album are nominated in six categories for at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Her potent blend of blues, jazz, pop and soul has won praise from critics and fans, but Winehouse has become as famous for her chaotic personal lifer.
Since the album’s U.S. release last year, Amy Winehouse has canceled a slew of appearances amid meltdowns and reports of drug and alcohol use.
