Amy Winehouse performed at Glastonbury Festival on June 28, 2008.
Some of the same critics also said Amy Winehouse wouldn’t show, but not only did she show, she started in a more committed and less distracted mind than last year. ‘You don’t know how happy I am to be here,’ she exclaimed, which is a rarity for her nowadays. Unfortunately, as her set progressed, she seemed determined to prove she can lose the plot, descending into the photography pit, and at one point aiming a punch at a punter.

The singer appeared to scuffle with someone in the front row after she jumped down into the photographers’ pit to sing the final song of her set, ‘Rehab’.
In video footage of Amy Winehouse’s performance she appears to elbow someone in the front row.
The disruption saw security guards stepping in and leading Winehouse away from the stage before she could play her last song.
Police later said they had received no complaints following the incident.
It was a bizarre ending to a set that Winehouse began in high spirits.
“You don’t even know how happy I am to be here tonight. I feel like they should make up a new word in the dictionary for happy, and have a picture of me there,” she told the crowd before ‘Tears Dry On Their Own’.
She later joked about the small blue dress she was wearing, saying: “It took three women to get me into this dress. What is about women? It takes us ’nuff time to get dressed, but pow, no time at all to get undressed.”

Towards the end of the set, the singer’s comments between songs became increasingly bizarre. Firstly she asked: “Are there any black people in the crowd? Where’s Don Letts?” before ‘Love Is A Losing Game’, then launched into a tirade about Jay-Z and Kanye West.
She said: “Let’s hear it for Jay-Z. The man has got bollocks to come here, and play the tunes you don’t even know you remember. Imagine if it was a cunt like Kanye West. ‘Cunts Like Kanye’ – that should be his next album title.”
