Amy Winehouse cancels VMA performance

Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse has reportedly canceled her performance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Universal Public Records, Amy's record label have announced that she would not be keeping any of her United States appearances "in a continued effort to support Amy Winehouse’s well-being."

Winehouse and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil have been urged by their family to seek treatment for their now infamous drug addictions. The family fears the couple may die of an overdose very soon.

The newlyweds were photographed last week running out of a London hotel bloody and bruised after an apparent fight. Winehouse denied Civil was responsible for her cuts and bruises.

The "Back to Black" star has admitted to an alcohol and drug problem in the past. She reportedly refuses to go to rehab without husband Civil.
