V Festival hopeful for Amy Winehouse performance

Organisers wish the troubled star well

09 August 2007

V Festival organisers are hopeful that Amy Winehouse will recover in time to perform at the twin event, following her collapse.

The 'Rehab' star suffered a suspected drug overdose yesterday (8 August) but has since been discharged from hospital.

It followed back-to-back festival performances at V Festival in Baltimore and Lollapalooza in Chicago (read our review HERE).

She has since cancelled her set at the Oya Festival in Oslo this weekend and there are fears she may cancel the UK version V Festival the weekend after (18-19 August).

But a spokesperson for V Festival told the NME: "Everyone one is wishing her well and hopes to see her at V."

Amy cancelled a number of gigs last month, including T In The Park, and ironically joked at her recent Somerset House show: "I've been on stage for an hour now and haven't collapsed".
