Amy Winehouse Makes Surprise Live Comeback

Amy Winehouse made her live comeback by teaming up with her heroes The Specials at a British music festival on Saturday (22Aug09) - and continued to stun fans by appearing during Pete Doherty's set later in the day.

The troubled singer was backstage at V Festival in Chelmsford, England when she met the ska legends, who made her dreams come true by inviting her to perform alongside them.

The crowd went wild when the 25 year old appeared towards the end of The Specials' set, waving happily to fans and grabbing the mic for You're Wondering Now before helping them end their slot with Ghost Town.

As she exited the stage, Winehouse thanked The Specials, who recently reformed after splitting in 1981, telling the crowd to applaud for the group.

The Rehab hitmaker appeared at a Caribbean music festival in May (09) for her first performance in eight months - but was forced to abandon her set after a heavy downpour.

And Winehouse was determined to make the most of her time at V Festival- she later appeared alongside former Libertines frontman Doherty duringhis headlining set.

Festivalgoers cheered as Winehouse scrambled on-stage to give Doherty afew words of encouragement, before pulling him in for a kiss on the lips.

She then headed backstage once again, but later re-emerged to lead the crowd in cheering for "Mr Peter Doherty", causing her pal to jokingly clasp his hand on her mouth to silence her.

Winehouse's dad faked heart attack to get her off drugs

Amy Winehouse's father Mitch has confessed he faked a heart attack in front of her formerly drug addict daughter to get her off heroin.

The 59-year-old former cabbie said he was desperate to get the 25-year-old singer out of drug hell before it took a nasty turn.

"I was at me wits end. I just didn't know which way to turn. I'd tried everything. I pretended I was seriously ill and even got our doctor to tell Amy that I was dying," The Mirror quoted him as saying.

"Once I even started screaming and said I was having a heart attack, but it didn't work. Amy's not stupid and she wanted to see my medical records proving I was actually ill," he added.

The "Rehab" hitmaker kicked her drug habit after her extended break in St Lucia.

Amy Winehouse’s Ex-Husband Wants £6million

Amy Winehouse has been left reeling after her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, demanded a £6million payoff.

Blake claims he is entitled to the fortune because he inspired her massively successful album Back To Black by cheating on her.

Fielder-Civil, 27, was granted a quickie divorce on Thursday on the grounds of Amy’s adultery.

“Amy did write Back To Black when Blake left her, but why on earth should he be getting a dime for making her feel so bad?” a source told Britain’s News of The World newspaper.

“She was at her lowest ebb when she wrote that album. Her boyfriend had left her for another woman and she poured her heart and soul into the writing process.

“It’s like saying that the man who writes a book about his murdered wife should give the murderer some of the profits.

“It’s an absolutely ridiculous request.

“The judge has given the Decree Nisi and the Decree Absolute will follow in six weeks.

“Blake has to make a claim before that but he has made it clear to Amy privately he wants millions. She believes she’s right and Blake has no real case for a stake at her money.

“Amy’s distraught because she hopes to get back to St Lucia and move on with a new phase of her life but doesn’t think Blake will go quietly. Blake’s family don’t want him to ask for money but he hasn’t given up on a hefty payday.

“He thinks he was a big part of her success with Back To Black and deserves money for what he put up with.

“Amy is furious and doesn’t want to negotiate.

“But she’s happy for his outrageous demands to be made public because she wants to show him up.”
