Amy Winehouse has pulled out of a concert in Paris due to illness, her publicist said.

 

The troubled singer did not attend the Rock En Seine festival in Paris after she was taken ill at her house in London and was unable to travel to France.

 

Her spokesman said: "Amy Winehouse was regrettably unable to perform at the Rock En Seine show in Paris tonight, Friday August 29th, due to illness. She was taken ill at her house and wasn't able to travel to France for the concert."

 

She was due to headline at the three-day festival, where the lineup included the Raconteurs, The Streets and Kate Nash.

The organisers of a French music concert are threatening legal action after headliner Amy Winehouse pulled out on Friday with just hours to go.

 

Winehouse failed to travel to the three-day Rock En Seine festival in Paris where the line-up included the Raconteurs, The Streets and Kate Nash.

 

The 24-year-old singer was said to have been taken ill at her London home.

 

Rock En Seine said there was "no explanation of the exact reasons for her absence".

 

'Last minute'

 

Organisers said they were given just two hours notice that Winehouse, who was headlining the concert, would not be appearing.

 

A statement on the Rock En Seine website said Winehouse's appearance had to be scrapped at the "last minute".

 

The statement added: "We are very sorry about this situation and share the disappointment of the festival-goers."

 

Winehouse is said to be recovering at home. Her spokesman declined to comment on the threat of legal action.

 

He had previously said: "Amy Winehouse was regrettably unable to perform at the Rock En Seine show in Paris due to illness.

 

"She was taken ill at her house and wasn't able to travel to France for the concert."

 

A spokesman for London Ambulance Service later confirmed its paramedics had not been called to the singer's address.

 

In June it emerged that Winehouse had developed the chronic lung disease emphysema after she collapsed.

 

Last month she again collapsed and had to be taken to hospital after reaction to medication.

 

Winehouse is next due to appear at the Bestival festival on the Isle of Wight next Saturday.

 

She is gonna be HATED in France for sure.

This is the second year in a row she cancells the show at last minute, and EVERY single news source (TV or newspapers) are talking about it at the moment.

Very bad publicity for her image.

I wonder what the real reason is? If she really was ill then fine and i hope she better now but cancelling just hours beforehand is out of order.

Amy Winehouse suffers from marijuana poisoning?

Amy Winehouse's hospital dash in July was the result of marijuana poisoning and not a reaction to medication, a tabloid report has claimed.

 

The Rehab singer was admitted to a London hospital on 28 July after falling ill at her home.

 

Her representative subsequently released a statement blaming her condition on an adverse reaction to medication she is taking to help kick her drug addiction - which the star's father Mitch has also backed.

 

But now The Sun newspaper is claiming Winehouse had in fact become sick after allegedly smoking pot for more than a day.

 

And pals fear Winehouse's reported addictions will leave her needing medical help for years to come.

 

A source tells the publication, "Mitch does everything he can to protect his daughter - but his 'explanation' for Amy's hospital dash in July was simply untrue.

 

"She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a s**tload of pot to suffer that severe a reaction.

 

"It's thought she had been smoking it for 36 hours... She is in need of years of psychiatry and medical treatment if she has a hope (of fully recovering)."
