It’s a rough time for poor Amy Winehouse. With her hubby Blake Fielder-Civil locked up in jail awaiting trial for allegedly telling an eyewitness in another case of his to drop the matter or else the English crooner has had difficulty focusing her attention on her day job. Well there is that and the fact that Winehouse is also having other troubles trying to kick a hard boozing/drug addicted lifestyle. All of the issues have been piling up in the singer’s busy tour schedule leading to concerts that start hours after they were scheduled to begin and messed-up lines during her performance. Apparently Amy has also realized that she badly needs a break because she just decided to pull the plug on her remaining U.K. tour dates.

On Monday evening after her show in Brighton Winehouse rushed off the stage at the end of the show to leave her crew to finish up breaking things down. She had been scheduled to play in Bournemouth the following day but was spotted by the press entering a London clinic Tuesday afternoon. A short while later Winehouse’s music label, Universal, issued a press release stating that the remaining eight concert dates had been cancelled due to the strain of recent emotional maladies.

“Amy Winehouse has canceled all remaining live and promotional appearances for the remainder of the year on the instruction of her doctor,” read the statement released by the music company. “The rigors involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks have taken their toll. In the interests of her health and well-being, Amy has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues.”

Winehouse also added her own coda to the end of Universal’s statement saying, “I can’t give it my all onstage without my Blake. I’m so sorry but I don’t want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it’s just not the same.”

PopTherapy wishes Ms. Winehouse all the best and a speedy recovering as long as she stays away from the spiked egg nog, bubbling champagne toasts and recreational pills offered this holiday season. You picked a hell of a time to quit partying Amy.
