AMY WINEHOUSE MAY BE BANNED IN THE UNITED STATES BUT SHE WILL PEFORM AT THE GRAMMY’S ANYWAY FROM LONDON ENGLAND

Banned in the United States, Amy Winehouse is sorry for missing the Grammy Awards, but is saying she’ll perform at Sunday’s ceremony via satellite. U.S. embassy staff in London refused to grant the troubled Winehouse a visa to attend the Los Angeles California event, because she was arrested and fined for drug possession in Norway last October.The singer, who is nominated for six awards, will still entertain guests but on a giant screen instead of in person. In a statement she says: “I’m raring to go and really excited to be performing at my first Grammy Awards. I’d like to thank everyone for their support over the last couple of weeks. I’m really sorry I can’t be there but I appreciate that I’m being given a second chance via satellite.” Rehab singer Winehouse left the London rehab clinic where she is being treated for her many drug problems on Friday to begin preparing for her performance. Her spokesperson says, “To prepare for the performance, Amy will be leaving the rehabilitation clinic today where she has been a resident for two weeks.”She is feeling great, looking healthy and looking forward to doing what she does best.”She will remain under full medical supervision and her treatment will continue as normal.”
