Amy Winehouse canceled her European tour this week after a disastrous concert performance in Serbia, said Radaronline.com. The singer, 27, who has battled drug and alcohol addiction, showed up to the concert disheveled and had to be propped up by backup singers while she slurred and forgot the words to her songs. A crowd of 20,000 booed and walked out. Released from rehab last month, Winehouse has been attempting a comeback. “She has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability,” said a spokesperson.
