The performer was reportedly treated in rehab this year and fans booed her during a shambolic set in Birmingham. | |
She had been due to play at the BIC in Bournemouth later and the Cardiff International Arena on Wednesday. | |
Performances were also planned during December in Dublin, Belfast, Manchester and London. | |
A statement issued by concert promoter Live Nation blamed "the rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks" for the decision. | |
"In the interests of her health and well-being, Amy has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues," the statement added. | |
Refunds | |
A spokeswoman for the company said there were no plans to reschedule the concerts and fans should seek refunds from the outlet where they purchased their tickets. | |
Winehouse was quoted as saying: "I can't give it my all on stage without my Blake. I'm so sorry but I don't want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love singing. | |
"My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same." | |
This was a reference to Blake Fielder-Civil, who has been remanded in custody until 18 January, accused of assaulting a pub landlord last June. | |
He also faces a charge of perverting the course of justice. |
