Troubled singer Amy Winehouse’s troubles are definitely not over after she appeared to throw a punch at a member of the audience in Glastonbury.
Amy Winehouse apparently punches fan at Glastonbury festival
Towards the end of her set at the festival, the Camden-based singer climbed down to the pit in front of the Pyramid stage to meet fans.
She was falteringly belting out her hit Rehab and flirting with the crowd when the scuffle happened with an unseen reveller.
Winehouse’s spokespeople later told Sky News that a woman had grabbed the singer’s hair and Amy was simply trying to push her away.
Earlier in the evening, Winehouse could not resist pining for her imprisoned husband Blake Fielder-Civil, telling the audience: “My husband is out of jail in two weeks.”
But despite the rambling banter between songs, Winehouse seemed on top form.
Recently diagnosed with emphysema, she overcame her troubles in front of 80,000 fans and sang an hour-long set, including hits Tears Drying On Their Own, Back To Black and You Know I’m No Good.
Emphysema is a progressive lung condition where sufferers struggle for breath.
Amy’s father Mitch has said the 24-year-old would make a full recovery as long as as she did not smoke anymore.
Mr Winehouse said that the disease could have been brought on by his daughter smoking crack cocaine.
