Amy Winehouse falls ill and misses concert
Soul singer Amy Winehouse was forced to cancel a Paris concert on short notice after falling ill at home in London, her spokesman said.
Amy Winehouse will not face chargesThe 24-year-old recording star, whose battle against drug addiction has overshadowed her career, had been due to appear at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris on Friday but pulled out of the show at the last minute.
"Amy Winehouse was regrettably unable to perform at the Rock En Seine show in Paris due to illness," her spokesman said in a statement late on Friday.
"She was taken ill at her house and wasn't able to travel to France for the concert."
During the last three months Winehouse has twice been rushed to the hospital, most recently after suffering what representatives said was a reaction to her medication.
Her father has said Winehouse is suffering from the lung disease emphysema.
Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was jailed recently after pleading guilty to beating up a pub landlord in 2006 and conspiring to cover up the crime.
The Grammy-winning singer is due to appear at the Bestival festival on the Isle of Wight next weekend.
