Amy Winehouse Denied Work Visa Again

Amy Winehouse really has no luck when it comes to gaining entry to the U.S. Last year, Amy was denied a U.S. visa for her drug problems. She wasn’t able to play at the Grammy Awards, even though she was nominated for six awards.

This year, Amy wanted to play at Coachella, but her recent legal troubles have gotten her denied once more. Her entry into the U.S. was blocked due to an assault charge by a fan.


Her spokesman says, “She is not appearing at Coachella this year in the light of current legal issues.”

A source close to Amy says, “Amy is absolutely gutted. She was looking forward to getting back on stage and this was going to be one of the biggest shows of her life. She was second on the bill on the Saturday night to the Killers. As well as 75,000 fans, there would have been top record execs there too so she might have even tried out some new material. But because of the court case she can’t get a visa. It’s a real setback after she has been getting clean from drugs in Barbados.”

Amy is set to go to court next Tuesday over the claims that she punched Sherene Flash last September.

WOW – I’ve been saying for a while now that Amy is the greatest talent to come out of england since THE BEATLES and now she is having the same legal problems coming to America that John Lennon had.
GIVE AMY A CHANCE !!

Is she really clean from drugs now? It’s a pitty what she’s doing with her life. Amy is such a talented singer, but with this attitude and her drunken escapades she won’t be successful for too long…
