It's official - Amy Winehouse cancels U.S. Tour

Due to the rigours involved in touring, Amy Winehouse has been advised to postpone her upcoming September US and Canadian tour dates. All ticket holders may obtain refunds at their point of purchase. Amy’s European and UK tour dates in October and November remain in place. Plans are being made to reschedule her US tour for early 2008. Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health.

She also just cancelled her appearance at the Oya Festival in Norway, which kind of worked out for me because she was supposed to play at the same time as Nine Inch Nails, and so I wasn’t forced to make any decisions. She also cancelled one of my SXSW shows in March, which even back then was barely a surprise. Now her cancelling a show I guess is just old news. Somehow though, I did manage to catch her at another SXSW appearance, and at Bowery. Her other successful NYC shows have been at Joe’s Pub and at Highline Ballroom.
