Amy Winehouse misses Brit Awards rehearsal – Tabloid Hell

Amy Winehouse missed her scheduled rehearsal for the Brit Awards on Monday (February 18), which had been set for at London’s Earl’s Court venue.

The star had apparently just learned that her incarcerated husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has been swapping signed photos of her for heroin.

According to The Sun, Winehouse, who is scheduled to perform a medley at tonight’s (February 20) ceremony with Mark Ronson, Adele and Daniel Marriweather, the news has pushed her closer to leaving Fielder-Civil.

The newspaper reports that Winehouse’s family are preparing for a divorce, and plan to offer him a lump sum of cash to “disappear” should the split occur.

An anonymous source is quoted as saying; “Amy has opened her eyes recently. She’s grown close to this other Blake, Blake Wood [who she has been hanging out with recently], and is trying to live a better life.”
