Amy Winehouse Booed As She Plays Dubai Gig

Amy Winehouse was booed as she performed a special one-off gig in Dubai last night (February 11).

The singer appeared to struggle through her performance of ‘Rehab’ at Gulf Bike Week, twiddling with her hair and touching her wrists.

Video footage, which can be viewed below, shows the crowd growing increasingly restless with the star.

As Winehouse concludes the song she appears to hear the boos and tells the audience: “Do you wanna be in the band?

“I said, do you wanna be in the band? That’s what I thought.”

A spokesperson for the singer told Gigwise: "Unfortunately, Amy's in ear monitors weren't working so she couldn't hear herself while singing.

"This meant some songs being cut short, leaving the stage for a bit to see if they could be fixed and handing over to her backing singer Zalon to sing one more song than he usually would."

He added that the audience was unaware of the problem.

Gulf Bike Week was also due to feature a performance from Pharrell Williams and N.E.R.D on Thursday (February 10).

  • I was at the Amy Winehouse gig, she was 200% totally dreadful! So her ear monitor wasn't working? Well all the backing singers were fine, couldn't they just swap? She forgot the words, she was playing with her nails! She could not be bothered and I plead with you all, do not see this junkie has been, what a waste of 600 Dirhams! I was gutted and left early along with most of the rest of the crowd. The backing singer was very good though.

  • I was at the Amy Winehouse concert last night, complete waste of money.Tickets cost £60, she sang a few songs, then disappeared. Her backing singers had to take over, and to be honest were better than her. She made no effort to sing her songs, fiddled with her hair, picked her nails, scratched her arms and generally looked like she didn't want to be there. Which to honest, would have been better if she wasn't. How can you charge people so much not deliver and theres no chance of
