She may have cleaned up for the second leg of the weekend’s V festival. But it was a frail-looking Amy Winehouse who returned home after her dismal performances at both the Chelmsford and Stafford legs of the festival in Essex.
Free of the liberal amounts of make-up she had used for Sunday’s performance, her skin looked typically ravaged, and scabby.
And the hair of her famous beehive hung in matted clumps.
Despite her revived appearance in graphic print mini-dress and fresh blooms in her hair, Amy was still smarting from the boos her Saturday night performance had earned her.
Her stuttering performance saw hordes of fan stream away from the main stage.
She told the crowd: ‘You’re a really nuts crowd. I’m not on drugs, honest.
‘So boo you guys for yesterday.’
Gone was the dank hair, listless eyes, worn skin – and boos from the crowd. Instead fans were treated to a vibrant performance.
Just 24 hours earlier, she had been sallow-faced and grubby with dark smears of make-up around her eye.
She coughed and spluttered her way through the set, forgetting the words to Back to Black and mumbling to herself between songs.
The 24-year-old dedicated Wake Up Alone to husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is serving a 27-month prison sentence, which prompted a smattering of boos from the crowd.
The shambling appearance provoked further fears over her health and state of mind.
So fans were wondering what to expect at the Chelmsford leg of the tour – and luckily for them the contrast could not be more pronounced.
Looking full of life, the singer performed a drama-free set – and this times she was only 10 minutes late to the stage.
She played songs including Back To Black and Rehab, and dedicated Wake Up Alone to Fielder-Civil, who was jailed for assault and perverting the course of justice.
