Amy Winehouse Angers Portuguese Fans

Amy Winehouse angered fans in Portugal after turning up an hour late for her first live performance of 2008.

The troubled singer was meant to make a stunning live return at the Rock In Rio concert, but kept eager fans waiting, and then admitted that she “should have cancelled” her set.

Having spent the duration of her performance sucking on throat lozenges, Amy admitted she was suffering from flu-like symptoms. She also clumsily dropped her microphone twice.

The star apologised to fans for her illness, telling fans: "My voice is not singing right and I can't even hold the microphone. But I wanted to be here so much."

And the 24-year-old didn't miss the opportunity to laugh off claims she is heading for a divorce from incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil, telling the crowd he was "still the handsomest bloke you ever seen in your life".
