Winehouse gig voted amongst 'worst ever'

Amy Winehouse's show at the Birmingham NIA last November has been voted amongst the 12 worst ever gigs.

In a list devised by The Independent, Winehouse joins The Stone Roses' performance at the 1996 Reading Festival, Woodstock 1994 and David Bowie's Glass Spider Tour shows at Wembley in 1987.

Winehouse was greeted by audience jeers at the Birmingham concert after she failed to remember words to several songs and threatened that her husband would come after them all once he was let out of prison.

Describing the show, the newspaper said: "The beehived star didn’t bother to soundcheck and was an hour late for the opening night at Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena.

"Despite playing the same set as usual, she gave a shambolic performance, staggering around the stage and slurring her way through 'Back To Black' and 'Rehab'."
