WINEHOUSE DEDICATES GIG TO JAILED HUSBAND

Troubled star AMY WINEHOUSE infuriated fans at a gig on Wednesday (14Nov07) by turning her performance into a bizarre tribute to jailed husband BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL.

Amy Winehouse performs live on stage at the NIA on the first night of her UK tour. Birmingham, England - 14.11.07

The concert in Birmingham, England, was the singer's first public performance since her spouse was arrested and jailed last week (ends11Nov07) accused of inflicting grievous bodily harm (GBH) and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Fans booed before walking out of the gig - the first night of her UK tour - enraged by Winehouse's incoherent performance, and were unimpressed when the singer stumbled on stage half an hour later than billed, before crashing into a guitar stand.

However, Winehouse was unfazed by the booing from the crowd - and threatened them with the wrath of Fielder-Civil.

She told the audience, "Let me tell you something. First of all, if you're booing you're a mug for buying a ticket. Second, to all the people booing - just wait till my husband gets out."

After singing hit Back To Black, she said, "Nothing's going to bring my husband back." Winehouse then dedicated track Wake Up Alone to Fielder-Civil, announcing, "This is for my husband."

At the end of the gig, Winehouse stopped singing closing number Valerie mid-way through, before dropping the microphone and walking off stage.
