Amy Winehouse turned on fans at her concert last night (14.11.07) after they started booing her.

The troubled star – who had earlier in the day visited husband Blake Fielder-Civil in prison – appeared drunk as she took the stage at Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena, the first night of her 17-date UK tour.
Throughout the concert Amy had to be supported by her band as she almost collapsed in tears and continuously paid tribute to Blake.
The crowd were not impressed with her antics and began booing with some even storming out in protest.
Amy told them: ‘Let me tell you something. First of all, if you’re booing you’re a mug for buying a ticket.
‘Second to all the people booing – just wait ’til my husband gets out.’
Amy changed the words to her songs to make reference to Blake. During Back To Black she added the word “Blakey” and at the end of the track she slurred: ‘Nothing’s going to bring my husband back.’
Before she got to the end of her closing song, her cover of The Zutons’ hit Valerie, she stopped singing, dropped the microphone and walked off stage.
Fan James Dyas said: ‘She came on stage half an hour late. She managed four songs but was slurring her words and swaying all over the place. She fell into the guitar stand and dropped the microphone – it was atrocious. The song she dedicated to her husband was so bad it was like
swinging a cat round your head.’
Friends of Amy are worried for her mental health ever since Blake was arrested last week after he was accused of GBH and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
