Amy Winehouse has been denied a visa to enter the U.S., and will therefore not be able to perform at this weekend's Grammy Awards. The statement from Amy's publicist:The singer has been invited to appear at the event on Sunday after receiving an amazing six nominations for the prestigious awards. Unfortunately, her application for a visa to enter the United States of America has been rejected at this time by the American Embassy in London.
Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago, and although disappointed with the decision, has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery. Amy has been treated well and fairly by the Embassy staff and thanks everyone for their support in trying to make this happen. There will of course be other opportunities and she very much looks forward to visiting America in the near future.
Amy thanks everyone at the Embassy for their support. Sure she does. She looks forward to visiting America in the near future. Would she even know she was here?
The Grammys suck anyway. The only way Amy would've helped was if she had a total on-stage meltdown, which wouldn't have happened. So who cares if she's there or not?
